  2. Classless Inter-Domain Routing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classless_Inter-Domain_Routing

    Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR / ˈ s aɪ d ər, ˈ s ɪ-/) 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 .

  3. Supernetwork - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supernetwork

    An example of route aggregation as a part of CIDR. A supernetwork, or supernet, is an Internet Protocol (IP) network that is formed by aggregation of multiple networks (or subnets) into a larger network. The new routing prefix for the aggregate network represents the constituent networks in a single routing table entry.

  4. Subnet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subnet

    This notation was introduced with Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR). [2] In IPv6 this is the only standards-based form to denote network or routing prefixes. For example, the IPv4 network 192.0.2.0 with the subnet mask 255.255.255.0 is written as 192.0.2.0 / 24 , and the IPv6 notation 2001:db8:: / 32 designates the address 2001:db8:: and ...

  5. 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 ...

  6. Routing table - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Routing_table

    The need to record routes to large numbers of devices using limited storage space represents a major challenge in routing table construction. In the Internet, the currently dominant address aggregation technology is a bitwise prefix matching scheme called Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR).

  7. Multicast address - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multicast_address

    The CIDR notation for this group is 224.0.0.0 / 4. [1] The group includes the addresses from 224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255 . The address range is divided into blocks each assigned a specific purpose or behavior.

  8. Default route - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Default_route

    The default route in Internet Protocol Version 4 (IPv4) is designated as the zero address, 0.0.0.0 / 0 in CIDR notation. [2] Similarly, in IPv6, the default route is specified by :: / 0. The subnet mask is specified as / 0, which effectively specifies all networks and is the shortest match possible. A route lookup that does not match any other ...

  9. Classful network - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classful_network

    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. The method divides the IP address space for Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) into five address classes based on the leading four address bits.
