IPv6 prefix calculator

First and last address, the exact 2^n address count, and the arpa prefix for any /0–/128 — BigInt-exact, computed in this tab.

Prefix or address
/48 block
First address (canonical)
2001:db8:dead::
2001:0db8:dead:0000:0000:0000:0000:0000
Last address (canonical)
2001:db8:dead:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff
2001:0db8:dead:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff
Total addresses (exact decimal)

What differs from IPv4
  • No broadcast reservation: every address in the block is assignable. The one convention worth knowing is the Subnet-Router anycast (RFC 4291 §2.6.1) — the first address — which is why both counts are shown; it is an addressing convention, not a reserved-invalid.
  • Capacities are BigInt-exact: a /64 prints as 18,446,744,073,709,551,616 — the full decimal, because no float ever touches it.
  • The arpa row is the reverse-nibble prefix used for reverse DNS zones. It is a text derivation — this tool never performs a DNS query.
  • Host bits set in your input are named; the network is computed from the aligned base.
