Why convert IP addresses to integers

Converting IP addresses to integers is a common technique in networking and software development where compact storage, fast comparison, or numerical processing is required.

Database storage — storing IP addresses as integers reduces space usage and simplifies indexing and range queries.
Sorting and comparison — integer values allow fast and predictable ordering of IP addresses.
Network calculations — working with IP ranges, masks, and address blocks is often easier in numeric form.
Low-level programming — many protocols and APIs represent IP addresses as integers using network byte order.
Debugging and logging — integer and hexadecimal representations are commonly used in logs and diagnostic tools.

In practice, engineers often need to convert IP addresses between human-readable and numeric forms when integrating with low-level systems, databases, or network protocols. Using integer, hexadecimal, or binary representations makes it easier to process, store, and compare IP addresses programmatically.
