Given that the host scanme.nmap.org is at the IP address 205.217.153.62, the specification scanme.nmap.org/16 would scan the 65,536 IP addresses between -205.217.0.0 and 205.217.255.255. The smallest allowed value is /1, -which scans half the Internet. The largest value is 32, which scans +205.217.0.0 and 205.217.255.255. The smallest allowed value is /0, +which scans the whole Internet. The largest value is 32, which scans just the named host or IP address because all address bits are fixed. CIDR notation is short but not always flexible enough. For example, you
