The remaining days needed to form a solar year were winter days not assigned to any month.

Classless Inter Domain Routing CIDR is an Internet Protocol IP address allocation and route aggregation methodology ref RFC 4632, Classless Inter domain Routing CIDR The Internet Address Assignment and Aggregation Plan , V.Fuller, T. Li, IETF, August 2006 ref used within the Internet addressing architecture that replaced the IPv4 classful network organization of the IP address space. It is used also for IPv6 networking, the next generation of the IP addressing architecture. CIDR notation is constructed from the IP address and the prefix size, the latter being equivalent to the number of leading 1 bits in the routing prefix mask. The IP address is expressed according to the standards of IPv4 or IPv6. It is followed by a separator character, the slash punctuation slash tt tt character, and the prefix size expressed as a decimal number. The address may denote a single, distinct, interface address or the beginning address of an entire network. In the latter case the CIDR notation specifies the address block allocation of the network. The maximum size of the network is given by the number of addresses that are possible with the remaining, least significant bits below the prefix. This is often called the host identifier. For example tt 198.51.100.1 24 tt represents the given IPv4 address and its associated routing prefix tt 198.51.100.0 tt , or equivalently, its subnet mask tt 255.255.255.0 tt . the IPv4 block tt 198.51.100.0 22 tt represents the 1024 IPv4 addresses from tt 198.51.100.0 tt to tt 198.51.103.255 tt . the IPv6 block tt 2001 db8 ... more details
