Canonicalize CIDR

Using library

use IP::Addr;
for «87.70.141.1/22 36.18.154.103/12 62.62.197.11/29 67.137.119.181/4 161.214.74.21/24 184.232.176.184/18» -> $cidr {
   say "$cidr -> $(IP::Addr.new($cidr).network)";
}

String manipulation

#!/usr/bin/env raku
unit sub MAIN(*@cidrs);

if !@cidrs {
  # test data
  @cidrs = «87.70.141.1/22 36.18.154.103/12 62.62.197.11/29 67.137.119.181/4 161.214.74.21/24 184.232.176.184/18»;
}

for @cidrs -> $cidr {
  say "$cidr -> $(canonicalize $cidr)";
}

# canonicalize a CIDR block: make sure none of the host bits are set
sub canonicalize($cidr) {
  # dotted-decimal / bits in network part
  my ($dotted, $size) = $cidr.split: '/';

  # get network part of the IP as binary string
  my $binary = $dotted.split('.')».fmt('%08b').join.substr(0, $size);

  # Add host part with all zeroes
  $binary ~= 0 x (32 - $size);

  # Convert back to dotted-decimal
  my $canon = $binary.comb(8)».parse-base(2).join: '.';

  # And output
  say "$canon/$size";
}

Output:

87.70.141.1/22 -> 87.70.140.0/22
36.18.154.103/12 -> 36.16.0.0/12
62.62.197.11/29 -> 62.62.197.8/29
67.137.119.181/4 -> 64.0.0.0/4
161.214.74.21/24 -> 161.214.74.0/24
184.232.176.184/18 -> 184.232.128.0/18

Bit mask and shift

# canonicalize a IP4 CIDR block
sub CIDR-IP4-canonicalize ($address) {
  constant @mask = 24, 16, 8, 0;
 
  # dotted-decimal / subnet size
  my ($dotted, $size) = |$address.split('/'), 32;
 
  # get IP as binary address
  my $binary = sum $dotted.comb(/\d+/) Z+< @mask;
 
  # mask off subnet
  $binary +&= (2 ** $size - 1) +< (32 - $size);
 
  # Return dotted-decimal notation
  (@mask.map($binary +> * +& 0xFF).join('.'), $size)
}
