Relationship between the IPv4 address and default subnet mask
There is agreement in terms of the assignment of IP address ranges and so-called "default
subnet masks".
The first decimal number of the IPv4 address (from the left) determines the structure of the
default subnet mask with regard to the number of "1" values (binary) as follows:
128.0.x.x to 191.255.x.x B 255.255.0.0
192.0.0.x to 223.255.255.x
Note
In the bit representation of the subnet mask, the "ones" must be set left
-justified; in other
words, there must be no "zeros" between the "ones".
A network node is a device that is connected to one or more networks via one or more
interfaces.
A network node that forwards IPv6 packets.
A network node that represents an end point for IPv6 communication relations.
A link is, according to IPv6 terminology, a direct layer 3 connection within an IPv6 network.
A network node located on the same link as the network node.
Physical or logical interface on which IPv6 is activated.
Maximum permitted packet size on a path from a sender to a recipient.
Mechanism for determining the maximum permitted packet size along the entire path from a
sender to a recipient.
