Variable Length Subnet Table For IPv4
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:
