	/## indicates the number of bits in the mask

	/16 255.255.0.0
	/17 255.255.128.0
	/18 255.255.192.0
	/19 255.255.224.0
	/20 255.255.240.0

	/22 255.255.252.0
	/23 255.255.254.0
	/24 255.255.255.0

	10.10.192/19 means all possible combinations of a.b.c.d where
	(a.b.c.d & 255.255.224.0) == 10.10.192.0
	10.10.192/19 is 10.10.192.0 - 10.10.233.255

	10.10.0/18 is 10.10.0.0 - 10.10.63.255
