It is called this because it is also the entry where the largest number of leading address bits of the destination address match those in the table entry. [2] For example, consider this IPv4 forwarding table (CIDR notation is used): 192.168.20.16/28 192.168.0.0/16 When the address 192.168.20.19 needs to be looked up, both entries in the ...
At the top level, the IP address pool is managed by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA). The total IPv4 address pool contains 4 294 967 296 (2 32 ) addresses, while the size of the IPv6 address pool is 2 128 ( 340 282 366 920 938 463 463 374 607 431 768 211 456 ) addresses.
These groups, commonly called CIDR blocks, share an initial sequence of bits in the binary representation of their IP addresses. IPv4 CIDR blocks are identified using a syntax similar to that of IPv4 addresses: a dotted-decimal address, followed by a slash, then a number from 0 to 32, i.e., a.b.c.d / n. The dotted decimal portion is the IPv4 ...
For example, if there is both an A and an MX for a name, but the name server has only the A record cached, only the A record will be returned. Usually referred to as ANY (e.g., in dig , Windows nslookup , and Wireshark ).

The Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) performs this IP-address-to-hardware-address translation for IPv4. In addition, the reverse correlation is often necessary. For example, unless an address is preconfigured by an administrator, when an IP host is booted or connected to a network it needs to determine its IP address.
