There is GiST operator class since version 9.4 and SP-GiST operator
class on version 9.6:

CREATE INDEX ON tracked_ip_address USING gist (ip_address inet_ops);

CREATE INDEX ON tracked_ip_address USING spgist (ip_address);

Performance would change depending on the dataset.  I am more
confident from SP-GiST one.
