IPv6
/94
2^34
IPv6 /94 prefix
/94 means the first 94 bits are the network and 34 are left for hosts. That is 2^34 addresses.
Addresses are 128 bits, so nobody writes a mask — only the prefix length. A home gets a /56, a single network a /64.

How to read this
- /24 means the first 24 bits are the network; the remaining 8 hold the addresses inside it.
- Each extra bit splits the network in two and halves the addresses.
- Usable addresses are normally the total minus two — the network and broadcast addresses.
- IPv6 has no broadcast, so nothing is subtracted. One network is conventionally a /64.
Frequently asked questions
Q. How many addresses are in a /94?
2^34, of which 2^34 can actually be handed out.
Q. How is a /94 written?
IPv6 uses no mask — you simply write /94.
Q. How many /64 networks fit in a /94?
None — it is narrower than a /64.
Q. How many host bits are there?
34. Each extra network bit halves the addresses.
