I don't much use ipv4 any more if I can avoid it but isn't it normal for
point-to-point links to have a netmask of 255.255.255.255?
It definitely can be, maybe not so common as I assumed.
loopback is a /8
Hello,
In CIDR a host address is xx.xx.xx.xx/32 which means 255.255.255.255.
isn't it?
It depends on what question you're asking.
An individual address is a /32, but a host address might be listed as a
/24 for example. This means there are 256 addresses that can be reached
without routing.
