Three network utility methods used O(n²) string concatenation in loops instead of O(n) alternatives.

Changes

  • Subnetmask.ConvertCidrToSubnetmask: Replace loop concatenation with new string('1', cidr) constructor
  • IPv4Address.ConvertIPAddressListToString: Replace manual loop with string.Join()
  • IPv4Address.ConvertIPAddressWithSubnetmaskListToString: Replace manual loop with string.Join() + LINQ Select

Example

Before:

var bits = string.Empty;
for (var i = 0; i < cidr; i++)
    bits += "1";

After:

var bits = new string('1', cidr);

Impact is most noticeable during network interface export operations and subnet calculations with large datasets.
