1. A string consisting of an IP address and an optional mask, separated by
a slash (``/``). The IP address is the network address, and the mask
can be either a single number, which means it's a *prefix*, or a string
representation of an IPv6 address. If it's the latter, the mask is
interpreted as a *net mask*. If no mask is provided, it's considered to
be ``/128``.
is a single number, which represents a *prefix*. If no mask is provided,
it's considered to be ``/128``.
For example, the following *address* specifications are equivalent:
``2001:db00::0/24`` and ``2001:db00::0/ffff:ff00::``.
Note that currently expanded netmasks are not supported. That means
``2001:db00::0/24`` is a valid argument while ``2001:db00::0/ffff:ff00::``
not.
2. An integer that fits into 128 bits. This is equivalent to a
single-address network, with the network address being *address* and
