1. The document discusses CIDR (Classless Inter-Domain Routing) notation for representing subnet masks, as an alternative to common 255.x.x.x notation.
2. It includes a table comparing common subnet masks to their equivalent CIDR prefixes, showing the number of IP addresses and subnets for each.
3. The CIDR number in a subnet mask comes from counting the number of 1's in the binary representation of the mask. For example, 255.255.255.0 is /24 as it has 24 1's, and 255.255.255.192 is /26 with 26 1's.

m0n0wall uses a subnet mask format that you may not be familiar with. Rather than the common 255.x.x.x, it uses CIDR (Classless InterDomain Routing) notation.
1.5.1. CIDR Table
You can refer to the following table to find the CIDR equivalent of your subnet mask.
