confused. how come its all the way to 255 ?

not 173.194.55.24 ?

 

Because binary. Because CIDR. Because wiki. Fuck it, I'mma computa....

 

The easiest way to explain is the "/#' is saying how many # bits to keep the same.

 

173.194.55.0/24

 

"173.194.55" is the first 24 bits. Keep the same.

 

We are dealing with computers here though so binary, 1, 0. IP number is made up of 32 bits. 24 of them are staying the same.

 

The last 8. The possibilities: 2*2*2*2*2*2*2*2 = 2^8 = 256

 

EDIT: A second example if it helps is if you had like "111.0.0.0/8"

 

Convert 111 to binary.

 

The whole IP address in binary is: 01101111.00000000.00000000.00000000

 

The first 8 stay the same. The underlined part cannot change.

 

The other 3 "sections" can go from 00000000 all the way to 11111111. In decimal that is 0 to 255.

 

So 111.0.0.0/8 means 111.0.0.0 all the way to 111.255.255.255

Yes, Virginia, there is a limit to what Verizon will let you do with FiOS' "unlimited" data plan. And a California man discovered that limit when he got a phone call from a Verizon representative wanting to know what, exactly, he was doing to create more than 50 terabytes of traffic on average per month—hitting a peak of 77TB in March alone.

 

An IT professional who manages a test lab for an Internet storage company, houkouonchi has been providing friends and family a personal VPN, video streaming, and peer-to-peer file service—running a rack of seven servers with 209TB of raw storage in his house.
