Hello, In the spirit of Ken's script below, I've started development of a tool which I called NetCalc: https://github.com/israel-lugo/netcalc (source code) https://pypi.python.org/pypi/netcalc (Python package) Currently, NetCalc allows one to add (aggregate) multiple networks, subtract a network from a larger network, and mix add/subtract operations with an arbitrary mathematical expression. It supports both IPv4 and IPv6, and works very efficiently even with very large networks. It uses the excellent netaddr library for the core address manipulation. Example usage: $ netcalc add 198.18.0.0/24 198.18.1.0/24 10.1/16 10/16 10.0.0.0/15 198.18.0.0/23 $ netcalc sub 192.0.2.0/24 192.0.2.0/28 192.0.2.16/28 192.0.2.32/27 192.0.2.64/26 192.0.2.128/25 $ netcalc expr 2001:db8::/34 - 2001:db8::/38 + 2001:db8:100::/41 2001:db8:100::/41 2001:db8:400::/38 2001:db8:800::/37 2001:db8:1000::/36 2001:db8:2000::/35 More features are planned, this is still just an early release. Right now, things that I can think of being useful: * new command for static information (netmask/bitmask, IP range) * new command for WHOIS queries * new command for splitting a network into smaller networks by prefix length * ability to specify network arguments through a file * ??? The tool is made in Python, and supports both Python 3 (preferred) and Python 2. I'm releasing here with the desire that it will be useful to someone, and hopefully to get some feedback on useful functionality, behavior and so on. Regards, Israel G.
