    When you translate it out it bits it’s the number of bits that are active in the net mask

    0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 is a /0

    0000 0000 1111 1111 1111 1111 1111 1111 is a /24

    0000 0011 1111 1111 1111 1111 1111 1111 is a /26

    And since it’s used for matching, it follows how many there are.
