What is CIDR

 Classless inter-domain routing (CIDR) is a set of Internet protocol (IP) standards that is used to create unique identifiers for networks and individual devices. The IP addresses allow particular information packets to be sent to specific computers.

In CIDR notation, this (class C) subnet mask would be /24, since the first 24 bits determine the network component of the IP address. ... For example, the mask /25 corresponds to the binary value 11111111 11111111 11111111 10000000, which in turn (in dot-decimal notation) corresponds to 255.255. 255.128.

What is IPv4 CIDR?

CIDR, which stands for Classless Inter-Domain Routing, is an IP addressing scheme that improves the allocation of IP addresses. It replaces the old system based on classes A, B, and C. This scheme also helped greatly extend the life of IPv4 as well as slow the growth of routing tables.

How do you calculate Cidr?

The formula to calculate the number of assignable IP address to CIDR networks is similar to classful networking. Subtract the number of network bits from 32. Raise 2 to that power and subtract 2 for the network and broadcast addresses. For example, a /24 network has 232-24 - 2 addresses available for host assignment.

What is AWS Cidr?

It is logically isolated from other virtual networks in the AWS Cloud. You can launch your AWS resources, such as Amazon EC2 instances, into your VPC. When you create a VPC, you must specify a range of IPv4 addresses for the VPC in the form of a Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR) block; for example, 10.0. 0.0/16 

Can two VPC have same CIDR?

AWS VPCs can exist in private (RFC 1918) IPv4 space. (You can also create them with public IP CIDR blocks, but this is less common as you must own your own IPv4 block.) ... You cannot have multiple subnets with the same (or overlapping) CIDR blocks in the same VPC, though, because AWS treats it as one continuous network.
