FWIW, you should be able to represent individual IPs, ranges, and subsets all in CIDR notation, tho for ranges you may need multiple CIRD entries to reflect the whole range.

CIDR for ipv4 consists of the 32 bit address and a 32 bit mask, so with some bit packing you can uniquely represent them in 64 bits without hashing.

The problem you’ll run into there is doing a “contains” check on an origin IP for a list of CIDRs, but you’ll need to do that currently since you’re dealing with subnets, I assume.




32 bit mask is way too generous, you only need 5 bit masklen. It all doesn't matter though since they have v6 addresses and ranges.


Would save a lot of space to just have separate lists for each mask length etc.
