Network and IP address calculator

Show network, broadcast, first and last address for a given network:

IP/Netmask bits: /

result:

Usable addresses:
Mask:
Network:
First usable:
Last usable:
Broadcast:

The netmask in "bits format" is also known as mask in CIDR format (CIDR=Classless Inter-Domain Routing).

IP Multicast address ranges

All multicast addresses can easily be recognized because they start with the bit pattern "1110".

224.0.0.0 - 224.0.0.255 Well-known multicast addresses, control channels
224.0.1.0 - 238.255.255.255 Globally-scoped (Internet-wide) multicast addresses
239.0.0.0 - 239.255.255.255 Local multicast addresses

Special and private address ranges

Private address ranges are not routed on the Internet and can be freely allocated in any private network. NAT (network address translation) is required when connecting such a network to the Internet.

Private network addresses (RFC1597/RFC1918 addresses):
10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255 A 24-bit block, /8, class A network
172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255 A 20-bit block, /12, set of 16 contiguous class B network numbers
192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255 A 16-bit block, /16, set of 255 contiguous class C network numbers

Special addresses:
127.0.0.0 - 127.255.255.255 Special address range for the localhost. You can normally not use those addresses for anything else. 127.0.0.1 is generally assigned to the loopback device
0.0.0.0 Special host address commonly reserved for the default route
