Subnet prefix length, also known as CIDR (Classless Inter-Domain Routing) notation, is a numerical value used to identify the size of a subnet. It is expressed as a number of bits and is used to determine the network mask. The prefix length indicates the number of bits used to identify the network, and the rest of the bits are used to identify the hosts within the network.
