Since the OP was using NetAddr::IP, what follows is a version that uses that module.

I used the same approach as in my earlier post. The main difference is that sorting is trickier because we are working with the string form. A plain (lexical) sort won't do because 20.0.0.0 would sort after 198.162.0.0. 

use strict;
use warnings;

use NetAddr::IP qw( );

my $subnet_mask = 29;

my @ip_xfers = (
   [ '10.0.0.1', 555555 ],
   [ '10.2.1.6', 444444 ],
   [ '10.6.2.8', 333333 ],
   [ '10.2.1.2', 222222 ],
);

my %subnet_xfers;
foreach (@ip_xfers) {
   my ($ip, $xfer) = @$_;
   my $subnet = NetAddr::IP->new($ip, $subnet_mask)->network();
   my $subnet_ip = $subnet->addr();

   # Save NetAddr::IP for sorting.
   $subnet_xfers{$subnet_ip} ||= [ $subnet, 0 ];
   $subnet_xfers{$subnet_ip}[1] += $xfer;
}

my @sorted_keys = sort { $subnet_xfers{$a}[0]->aton()
                                    cmp
                         $subnet_xfers{$b}[0]->aton() }
                  keys %subnet_xfers;

foreach (@sorted_keys) {
   my ($subnet, $xfer) = @{$subnet_xfers{$_}};
   print("$subnet: $xfer\n");
}

Update: I originally didn't sort the output due to the extra complexity.
