2. Classless Inter-Domain Routing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classless_Inter-Domain_Routing

   Classless Inter-Domain Routing. Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR / ˈsaɪdər, ˈsɪ -/) is a method for allocating IP addresses for IP routing. The Internet Engineering Task Force introduced CIDR in 1993 to replace the previous classful network addressing architecture on the Internet. Its goal was to slow the growth of routing tables on ...

3. Network address translation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_address_translation

   Network address translation. Network address translation (NAT) is a method of mapping an IP address space into another by modifying network address information in the IP header of packets while they are in transit across a traffic routing device. [1] The technique was originally used to bypass the need to assign a new address to every host when ...

4. IP address - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IP_address

   The subnet mask or CIDR notation determines how the IP address is divided into network and host parts. The term subnet mask is only used within IPv4. Both IP versions however use the CIDR concept and notation. In this, the IP address is followed by a slash and the number (in decimal) of bits used for the network part, also called the routing ...

5. 0.0.0.0 - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/0.0.0.0

   The CIDR notation 0.0.0.0 / 0 defines an IP block containing all possible IP addresses. It is commonly used in routing to depict the default route as a destination subnet. It matches all addresses in the IPv4 address space and is present on most hosts, directed towards a local router.

6. Reserved IP addresses - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reserved_IP_addresses

   Used for link-local addresses [5] between two hosts on a single link when no IP address is otherwise specified, such as would have normally been retrieved from a DHCP server 172.16.0.0/12 172.16.0.0–172.31.255.255 1 048 576: Private network Used for local communications within a private network [3] 192.0.0.0/24 192.0.0.0–192.0.0.255 256

7. IPv4 address exhaustion - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPv4_address_exhaustion

   IPv4 address exhaustion is the depletion of the pool of unallocated IPv4 addresses. Because the original Internet architecture had fewer than 4.3 billion addresses available, depletion has been anticipated since the late 1980s when the Internet started experiencing dramatic growth. This depletion is one of the reasons for the development and ...

8. Classful network - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classful_network

   Classful network. Map of the prototype Internet in 1982, showing 8-bit-numbered networks (ovals) only, interconnected by routers (rectangles). A classful network is an obsolete network addressing architecture used in the Internet from 1981 until the introduction of Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR) in 1993.

9. Template:IP range calculator - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:IP_range_calculator

   IP range calculator. This template accepts IPv4 or IPv6 addresses as input and displays minimum-sized blocks of addresses that cover all of the inputs. The result uses CIDR notation and can be used by an administrator to block a range of IP addresses. The template can be used by editing any page, inserting the template, and previewing the result.
