Network Address/Netmask Notation

Hi, list,

I've never been terribly clear on this, so I'll ask here. Given
a network address of, say, 192.168.0.0 and a netmask of /8, thus
192.168.0.0/8, this means that 8 bits of the network address will
be used for the host address, which means that any address in the
range 192.168.0.1 - 192.168.0.255 will match. Am I correct?

Thanks,

Kurt
