Terminology

CIDR (Classless Inter-Domain Routing)** notation was developed to provide more granularity than legacy classful addressing. CIDR notation is expressed as /XX.
Wildcard Mask** indicates which parts of an IP address are available for examination.
Binary Subnet Mask** provides a clear representation of the subnet mask in binary format, illustrating the network and host portions.
IP Address Classes**: Classes A, B, and C are used for unicast addressing. Class D is reserved for multicast, and Class E is reserved for experimental purposes.
Localhost (127.0.0.0/8)** is used for loopback testing within a host.
Zeroconf/Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA)**: 169.254.0.0/16 is used for self-assigned addresses when DHCP fails.
