IP addresses contain 4 octets, each consisting of 8 bytes giving values between 0 and 255. The decimal value that comes after the slash is the number of bits consisting of the routing prefix. This in turn can be translated into a netmask, and also designates how many available addresses are in the block.</p> </header> <section id="app"></section> <footer> |
