I suspect it's actually the other way around. On the wire, a v4 address is four bytes. uint_32 is the natural type for this. So when we start looking at cidr scopes, /24 means the first 24 bits of those 32. "The first 24 bits of 4 bytes" sounds wrong to me, "the first 24 bits of 32 bits" sounds logical. So as I see it - 143267841 (or 0x88A1801) is the address, and quad-dotted decimal is a (slightly more) human-readable representation of it. |
