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.

CIDR notation is short but not always flexible enough. For example, you
