Generation

CIDR (Classless Inter-Domain Routing) notation is a compact way to specify an IP address and its associated network mask using a slash followed by a number, like `192.168.1.0/24`. The number after the slash tells you how many bits, counting from the left, are fixed and represent the network portion of the address—the remaining bits identify individual hosts within that network. So `/24` means the first 24 bits are the network (leaving 8 bits for hosts, or 256 addresses), while `/16` would mean 16 network bits (leaving 16 bits for hosts, or 65,536 addresses). This system replaced the old "classful" addressing scheme and allows for much more flexible and efficient allocation of IP addresses.
