Detailed information about IPv4 /11 subnets
A /11 network is very large and can support thousands to millions of hosts. These are typically used by large organizations or internet service providers.

A CIDR /11 subnet has 2,097,150 usable IP addresses for hosts. This is a relatively large subnet that can be further divided into smaller subnets if needed.
Organizations typically use subnets of this size for large-scale deployments or when planning for future growth.
Cloud providers reserve some IP addresses in each subnet for internal use, resulting in fewer usable IPs:
When planning your cloud infrastructure, consider these reserved addresses to accurately size your subnets.
