A subnet mask encodes the same information as a prefix length but predates the advent of CIDR. In CIDR notation, the prefix bits are always contiguous. Subnet masks were allowed by RFC 950 [6] to specify non-contiguous bits until RFC 4632 [5]: Section 5.1 stated that the mask must be left contiguous. Given this constraint, a subnet mask and ...
Conversion of signals, or groups of signals, in one code into corresponding signals, or groups of signals, in another code. 2. A process for converting a code of some predetermined bit structure, such as 5, 7, or 14 bits per character interval, to another code with the same or a different number of bits per character interval.

For example, in a typical home network with legacy Internet Protocol version 4, the network prefix would be something like 192.168.1.0/24, as expressed in CIDR notation. With IPv4, commonly home networks use private addresses (defined in RFC 1918 ) that are non-routable on the public Internet and use address translation to convert to routable ...
A wildcard mask can be thought of as an inverted subnet mask. For example, a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 (11111111.11111111.11111111.00000000 2) inverts to a wildcard mask of 0.0.0.255 (00000000.00000000.00000000.11111111 2). A wild card mask is a matching rule. [2] The rule for a wildcard mask is: 0 means that the equivalent bit must match

In this case, the longest prefix of the candidate routes is 192.168.20.16/28, since its subnet mask (/28) is longer than the other entry's mask (/16), making the route more specific. Forwarding tables often contain a default route , which has the shortest possible prefix match, to fall back on in case matches with all other entries fail.
