How to read IPv4 CIDR results
The prefix tells you how many leading bits identify the network. In ordinary /0 to /30 subnets, the first address is the network address and the last is broadcast; usable host addresses lie between them. /31 and /32 are special: /31 is used for point-to-point links and /32 represents a single address.
The calculation follows RFC 4632 and the /31 exception in RFC 3021. It does not inspect your live router or firewall settings.
