a wildcard will match 2^x addresses where x= the number of bits set.

examples:
0.0.0.1 = 0 0 0 1 = 2 addrs 
   10.0.0.0 10.0.0.1 = 10.0.0.0 0.0.0.1
0.0.0.3 = 0 0 0 11 = 4 addrs
   10.0.0.0 10.0.0.1 10.0.0.2 10.0.0.3 = 10.0.0.0 0.0.0.3
0.0.0.6 = 0 0 0 110 = 4 addrs
   10.0.0.0 10.0.0.2 10.0.0.4 10.0.0.6 = 10.0.0.0 0.0.0.6
0.1.0.1 = 0 1 0 1 = 4 addrs
   10.0.0.0 10.1.0.0 10.0.0.1 10.1.0.1 = 10.0.0.0 0.1.0.1
