-
- Status of this Memo
-
- This memo provides information for the Internet community. This memo
- does not specify an Internet standard of any kind. Distribution of
- this memo is unlimited.
-
- Abstract
-
- This document itemizes the potential values for IPv4 subnets.
- Additional information is provided for Hex and Decmial values,
- classfull equivalents, and number of addresses available within the
- indicated block. We appreciate inputs from Bruce Pinsky (cisco) and
- Daniel Karrenberg (RIPE).
-
- Table
-
- The following table lists the variable length subnets from 1 to 32,
- the CIDR representation form and the Decmial equivalents.
-
- Mask value:
- Hex CIDR Decimal #of add Classfull
