Does 0.0.0.0/7 represent the same range as 1.0.0.0/8?

The range of 0.0.0.0/7 is 0.0.0.0 - 1.255.255.255.

The range of 1.0.0.0/8 is 1.0.0.0 - 1.255.255.255.



AFAIK, 0.0.0.0/8 (0.0.0.0 - 0.255.255.255) is not usable. So, do these represent the same range practically?



ip route add 0.0.0.0/7 dev eth1 # 1
ip route add 1.0.0.0/8 dev eth1 # 2


Is the effect the same?

Clearly these are not the same.



However, nothing in 0.0.0.0/8 is a valid destination address, so the effect of each route would be the same. Attempts to connect to anything in 0.0.0.0/8 would just fail as always with an Invalid argument error, while attempts to connect to 1.0.0.0/8 would be routed as specified.

  • Just to add to this, if you specify both routes, 1.0.0.0/8 would always be used for 1.*.*.*, as it is more specific than 0.0.0.0/7. Hence, 0.0.0.0/7 would be used (and fail as described) only for 0.0.0.0/8 range (0.*.*.* addresses).
