About CIDR Notation

CIDR (Classless Inter-Domain Routing) is a method for allocating IP addresses and routing that replaces the older classful network design. CIDR notation represents an IP address and its associated routing prefix with a slash (/) followed by the prefix length.

For example, 192.168.1.0/24 represents the network with:

  • Network address: 192.168.1.0
  • Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0 (24 bits set to 1)
  • 256 total addresses (192.168.1.0 - 192.168.1.255)
  • 254 usable host addresses (excluding network and broadcast)

Private IP Address Ranges (RFC 1918)

These address ranges are reserved for private networks and are not routable on the public Internet:

  • 10.0.0.0/8 - 10.0.0.0 to 10.255.255.255 (16,777,216 addresses)
  • 172.16.0.0/12 - 172.16.0.0 to 172.31.255.255 (1,048,576 addresses)
  • 192.168.0.0/16 - 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.255 (65,536 addresses)

Special-Use IPv4 Addresses

  • 0.0.0.0/8 - Current network (only valid as source address)
  • 127.0.0.0/8 - Loopback addresses (127.0.0.1 is localhost)
  • 169.254.0.0/16 - Link-local addresses (APIPA - Automatic Private IP Addressing)
  • 224.0.0.0/4 - Multicast addresses (224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255)
  • 240.0.0.0/4 - Reserved for future use (240.0.0.0 to 255.255.255.255)
  • 255.255.255.255/32 - Broadcast address for current network

IPv4 Address Classes (Legacy)

Before CIDR, IPv4 addresses were allocated using classful networking:

  • Class A: 0.0.0.0 to 127.255.255.255 (1.0.0.0 to 126.0.0.0 usable, /8 networks)
  • Class B: 128.0.0.0 to 191.255.255.255 (128.0.0.0 to 191.255.0.0 usable, /16 networks)
  • Class C: 192.0.0.0 to 223.255.255.255 (192.0.0.0 to 223.255.255.0 usable, /24 networks)
  • Class D: 224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255 (Multicast)
  • Class E: 240.0.0.0 to 255.255.255.255 (Reserved)
