This doesn't mean anything ?

There are few tools to deal with ip addresses, you can study the code :
python: IPy https://github.com/haypo/python-ipy
perl : ipcalc: /usr/ports/net-mgmt/ipcalc
...

Basically, an ip address is just a number. IPy associates also a
prefix length in an "IP" object. So it can represent a host or
a network which is nice.
