There is currently some bad practices being used where I clone data within references, even though I could use a lifetime modifier to allow avoid this.

fn new(given_address: &IpAddr, broadcast_address: &IpAddr, num_hosts: u32) -> Network {
	Network {
		network_address: given_address.clone(),
        	broadcast_addr: broadcast_address.clone(),
        	num_hosts,
	}
}

I need to invest some more time into actually exploring how they work but it would be a good addition to have.
