I have an input file that contains a list of ip addresses and the ip\_counts(some parameter that I use internally.)The file looks somewhat like this.

```
202.124.127.26  2135869
202.124.127.25  2111217
202.124.127.17  2058082

74.125.237.152   517516
8.254.9.254   514341

```

As you can see the ip addresses themselves are unsorted.So I use the sort command on the file to sort the ip addresses as below

```
cat address_count.txt | sort -t . -k 1,1n -k 2,2n -k 3,3n -k 4,4n > sorted_address.txt

```

Which gives me an output with ip addresses in the sorted order.The partial output of that file is shown below.

```

Now I want to parse the file given above and convert it to aaa.bbb.ccc.0/8 format and 
aaa.bbb.0.0/16 format and I also want to count the number of occurences of the ip's in each subnet.I want to do this using bash.I am open to using sed or awk.How do I achieve this.

For example

```
8.19.240.53    11013
8.19.240.70    11915
8.19.240.72    31541
8.19.240.73    23304
8.20.213.28    96434
8.20.213.32   108191
8.20.213.34   170058
8.20.213.39    23512
8.20.213.41    10420
8.20.213.61    24809

```

The about input portion should produce 8.19.240.0/8 and 8.20.213.0/8 and similarly for /16 domains.I also want to count the occurences of machines in the subnet.
For example In the above output this subnet should have the count 4 in the next column beside it.It should also add the already displayed count.i.e (11013 + 11915 + 31541 + 23304) in another column.

8.19.240.0/8 4 (11013 + 11915 + 31541 + 23304) 
8.20.213.0/8 6 (96434 + 108191 + 170058 + 23512 + 10420 + 24809)

It would be great if someone could suggest some way to achieve this.
