Do you mean a CIDR calculator?

If so, I put a rudimentary implementation into [net] 2.0 last year.

See the implementation here:

http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/commons/proper/net/branches/NET_2_0/src/main/java/org/apache/commons/net/util/SubnetUtils.java?revision=740965&view=markup

And example usage:

http://svn.apache.org/viewvc/commons/proper/net/branches/NET_2_0/src/main/java/examples/SubnetUtilsExample.java?revision=658518&view=markup

Is that what you mean?
