CIDR Utilization

The results appear to be missing 192.168.0.0/32.

Is this intended behavior?

192.168.0.8/27 is not a valid CIDR — It actually represents an address within 192.168.0.0/27, so actually, rather than missing 192.168.0.0/32, one could argue that there are erroneous reports for 192.168.0.2/31, 192.168.0.4/30 being available.

192.168.0.64/26 encompasses 192.168.0.68/32 and 192.168.0.96/29, so there’s also an allocation conflict potential there.

I thought I understood what you were looking for from your question, but your example creates significant confusion.
