How CIDR Subnetting Works
Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR) replaced the historical classful network system (Class A, B, C) in 1993 to allocate IP addresses more efficiently. The suffix (e.g. /24) represents the number of contiguous leading bits assigned to the Network ID, leaving the remaining bits (32 - prefix) to uniquely address individual Hosts.
Usable Hosts Formula:
2(32 - prefix) - 2
(Minus 2 for Network ID & Broadcast address; /31 and /32 are special cases).
RFC 1918 Private Ranges:
- 10.0.0.0 – 10.255.255.255 (/8)
- 172.16.0.0 – 172.31.255.255 (/12)
- 192.168.0.0 – 192.168.255.255 (/16)
