I don't see any valid reason for entering a network as "192.168.1.1/24" rather than the canonical "192.168.1.0/24". The former might indicate a typing error or a mental slip, so let's be helpful and signal it to the user.

Or perhaps there can be an optional "strict=True" (or "strict=False") argument to the constructor / parsing function.

Regards

Antoine.
