CIDR Cheat Sheet: Every IPv4 Prefix, /0 to /32
"Usable" subtracts the network and broadcast addresses, except /31 (RFC 3021 point-to-point: both addresses usable) and /32 (one host). The table is generated from the arithmetic, not typed; the calculator computes any row with its range.

IPv6 in six rows
| Prefix | Meaning |
|---|---|
| /128 | One address (a host route) |
| /127 | Point-to-point link (RFC 6164) |
| /64 | The standard subnet. SLAAC needs the 64-bit interface identifier space, so it is not subdivided further |
| /56 | A common residential allocation: 256 /64 subnets |
| /48 | A common site allocation: 65,536 /64 subnets |
| /32 | A typical ISP allocation |
There is no broadcast address in IPv6 and no "minus two".
