We are fucked. Truly. Seriously.

Microsoft has become a multi-trillion $$$ terrorist organization, I kid you not.

Enter IPNetwork, their lame extension of the IPIaddress class. Day late and dollar short.

This System.net.IPnetwork cannot parse CIDRs. It fails on some that do not start with the 1st IP address that they expect. Genius is as genius does: always as a degenerate.

According to this ticket it was closed/fixed for .NET 9, but the issue still exists, in the best traditions of Chi-com Microsoft dev teams' sabotage.

They also seem to have Microsoft.AspNetCore.HttpOverrides.IPNetwork, which according to their own documentation should have its own Parse method, but it does not in real life: 'IPNetwork' does not contain a definition for 'Parse'

This is so fucked that this is scary!

And of course, in the best traditions of Chi-com Microsoft, only their own staff can create issues in their issue tracker. We reached a dead end.

If this is the quality that we should expect from the world's largest software vendor with multi-trillon $$$ capitalization, then we are fucked.
