If you are involved in IP networks, you are likely familiar with the term CIDR. In this article, we will not only provide a definition of CIDR but also explore its practical applications and benefits. Having a clear understanding of CIDR can greatly assist in tasks related to the transfer of IPv4 and IP addresses in general.
CIDR, which stands for Classless Inter-Domain Routing, is a replacement for the traditional classful IPv4 routing and address allocation policies. It is an IP addressing scheme that offers improved allocation of IPv4 addresses.
In the past, IPv4 addresses were divided into three classes: A, B, and C, with each class having a fixed number of addresses. However, this system proved to be inefficient and led to address shortages. CIDR was introduced as a solution to this problem by allowing blocks of variable size instead of fixed classes. The CIDR notation represents an IP address and its associated network mask in a compact form. It consists of the IP address followed by a slash character (/) and a decimal number representing the size of the subnet mask. The subnet mask can range from /0 to /32, covering the entire range of possible addresses in an IPv4 address. This flexibility enabled the description of IPv4 blocks of any size without the limitations of the three class sizes. For example, a class C block, which originally contained 256 addresses, is represented in CIDR notation as /24, indicating that 24 bits of the address are masked, leaving 8 bits for addressing within the block (which corresponds to 256 possible numbers in binary). Similarly, a class A block is represented as /8, leaving 24 bits for addressing (equivalent to 16 million possible addresses in binary).
