Wildcard bits are the bits used in a filter that represent any possible value. They are usually represented by either an asterisk (*) or a hash (#) and are used in IP routing, access control lists (ACLs), network address translation (NAT) rules, and other network configurations. Wildcard bits allow for multiple matching criteria and can make it easier to set up networks or security policies.
