CIDR
# CIDR
- Classless Inter-Domain Routing
- A Longest Prefix Match
Class A: Allows 2^24 host addresses on the network. The starting host address is 0.0.0.0 and the ending address is 127.0.0.0. These networks use the 255.0.0.0 subnet mask, or /8 CIDR notation.
Class B: Allows 2^16 host addresses on the network. The starting host address is 128.0.0.0 and the ending address is 191.255.0.0. These networks use the 255.255.0.0 subnet mask, or /16 CIDR notation.
Class C: Allows 2^8 host addresses on the network. The starting host address is 192.0.0.0 and the ending address is 223.255.255.0. These networks use the 255.255.255.0 subnet mask, or /24 CIDR notation.

# Private IP Addresses
Class A Private Range: 10.0.0.0 to 10.255.255.255
Class B Private APIPA Range: 169.254.0.0 to 169.254.255.255
- Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) is a feature with Microsoft Windows-based computers to automatically assign itself an IP address within this range if a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server is not available on the network. A DHCP server is a network device that is responsible for assigning IP addresses to devices on the network.
- At your home, your Internet modem or router likely provides this functionality. In your work place, a Microsoft Windows Server, a network firewall, or some other specialized network device likely provides this functionality for the computer at your work environment.
Class B Private Range: 172.16.0.0 to 172.31.255.255
Class C Private Range: 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.255
