  2. Subnet - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Subnet

    Subnet masks are also expressed in dot-decimal notation like an IP address. For example, the prefix 198.51.100.0 / 24 would have the subnet mask 255.255.255.0. Traffic is exchanged between subnets through routers when the routing prefixes of the source address and the destination address differ. A router serves as a logical or physical boundary ...

  3. IP address - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IP_address

    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 prefix. For example, an IPv4 address and its subnet mask may be 192.0.2.1 and 255.255.255.0, respectively.

  4. Reserved IP addresses - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reserved_IP_addresses

    Subnet 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

  5. Link-local address - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Link-local_address

    The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) has reserved the IPv4 address block 169.254.0.0 / 16 (169.254.0.0 – 169.254.255.255) for link-local addressing. [1] The entire range may be used for this purpose, except for the first 256 and last 256 addresses (169.254.0.0 / 24 and 169.254.255.0 / 24), which are reserved for future use and must not be selected by a host using this dynamic ...

  6. IPv4 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPv4

    It is used as a local broadcast address for sending messages to all devices on the subnet simultaneously. For networks of size / 24 or larger, the broadcast address always ends in 255. For example, in the subnet 192.168.5.0 / 24 (subnet mask 255.255.255.0) the identifier 192.168.5.0 is used to refer to the entire subnet

  7. Classless Inter-Domain Routing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classless_Inter-Domain_Routing

    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 ...

  9. List of assigned /8 IPv4 address blocks - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_assigned_/8_IPv4...

    This means that 256 /8 address blocks fit into the entire IPv4 space. As IPv4 address exhaustion has advanced to its final stages, some organizations, such as Stanford University , formerly using 36.0.0.0 / 8 , have returned their allocated blocks (in this case to APNIC ) to assist in the delay of the exhaustion date.
