A special case of private link-local addresses is the loopback interface. These addresses are private and link-local by definition since packets never leave the host device. IPv4 reserves the entire class A address block 127.0.0.0 / 8 for use as private loopback addresses. IPv6 reserves the single address ::1.

For these networks, the network address was given by the next 14 bits of the address, thus leaving 16 bits for numbering host on the network for a total of 65 536 addresses per network. Class C was defined with the 3 high-order bits set to 1, 1, and 0, and designating the next 21 bits to number the networks, leaving each network with 256 local ...
Addresses can also be entered in a single argument. {{blockcalc|Any text that includes IPv4 and/or IPv6 addresses.}} Addresses are extracted from the arguments, so any text can be used. {{blockcalc|1=Any text with = that includes IPv4 and/or IPv6 addresses.}} Use 1= if the text contains "=". The following optional parameters can be used. |ok
Each / 8 block contains 256 3 = 2 24 = 16,777,216 addresses, which covers the whole range of the last three delimited segments of an IP address. This means that 256 /8 address blocks fit into the entire IPv4 space.
The IPv6 address specification 2001:db8:: / 32 is a large address block with 2 96 addresses, having a 32-bit routing prefix. For IPv4, a network may also be characterized by its subnet mask or netmask , which is the bitmask that, when applied by a bitwise AND operation to any IP address in the network, yields the routing prefix.

In a /28 subnet, e.g. 1.2.3.192/28, the reserved addresses would be 1.2.3.192 and 1.2.3.207, with the latter being the subnet broadcast address. In a /16 subnet in turn, that means that .0.0 and .255.255 are automatically reserved, with .255.255 being the broadcast address for the subnet.
