You might lookup the word 'CIDR' or Classless Inter Domain Routing. In the /x, the x represents the number of bits for the part of the address that describes the network. > Does both representation have same meaning ?

Classful (A, B, C, D, E) have been dropped for some time already and are replaced with their CIDR counterparts. Thus for this part of IPv4 vs IPv6, it's just a much longer address. > Any RFC or document pertaining to this ?? www.faqs.org -> CIDR Don't know the thing by number or name though ;) Most current books and documents should be using it as CIDR has been here since 1991 or something (or even earlier?).
