   255.255.255.0 is a /24 meaning only the last 8 bits (octet) of the address   
   changes.   
   The first 24 bits of the 32 bit address are fixed.   
      
   255.255.0.0 is a /16   
   255.0.0.0 is a /8   
      
   A /32 would be written as a netmask of 255.255.255.255, in which case only one   
   ip address is in the selected range.   
      
   That's for an ipv4 network. For ipv6 there are 128 bits instead of 32.
