What is a /1 subnet?

A /1 subnet uses the first 1 bits of an IPv4 address for the network and leaves 31 bits for hosts. Its subnet mask is 128.0.0.0, and it contains 2³¹ = 2,147,483,648 addresses, of which 2,147,483,646 can be assigned to devices. Typical use: Very large blocks only seen in routing tables and IANA allocations; /4 is the multicast range 224.0.0.0/4. Use the subnet calculator above to check any /1 network.

A /1 covers 1/2 of the IPv4 address space (2³¹ of 2³² addresses).

/1 subnet example

For 0.0.0.0/1: network address 0.0.0.0, usable hosts 0.0.0.1 – 127.255.255.254, broadcast address 127.255.255.255, wildcard mask 127.255.255.255.

Frequently asked questions

How many usable IPs are in a /1?

2,147,483,646. The block has 2,147,483,648 addresses; the first is the network address and the last is the broadcast address.

What is the subnet mask for /1?

128.0.0.0, or 10000000.00000000.00000000.00000000 in binary.

How many /1 subnets are in a /0?

2 (2¹), because a /1 uses 1 more network bits than a /0.

What is the difference between /1 and /0?

A /0 (0.0.0.0) is twice as large: 4,294,967,296 addresses and 4,294,967,294 usable hosts, spanning two consecutive /1 blocks such as 0.0.0.0–255.255.255.255.
