A /19 network has 13 host bits, 8,192 addresses and 8,190 usable hosts. It is 32 /24 networks.
A /19 gives 8,190 usable hosts. Teams running EKS with the VPC CNI often give each Availability Zone a /19 private subnet, because every pod takes a real VPC address.
| Network | Network address | First usable | Last usable | Broadcast | Next /19 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 10.0.0.0/19 | 10.0.0.0 | 10.0.0.1 | 10.0.31.254 | 10.0.31.255 | 10.0.32.0/19 | calculate |
| 172.16.0.0/19 | 172.16.0.0 | 172.16.0.1 | 172.16.31.254 | 172.16.31.255 | 172.16.32.0/19 | calculate |
| 192.168.0.0/19 | 192.168.0.0 | 192.168.0.1 | 192.168.31.254 | 192.168.31.255 | 192.168.32.0/19 | calculate |
The /19 boundary falls in the third octet, so /19 networks start every 32 in that octet
(8 per /16):
0, 32, 64, 96, 128, 160, 192, 224.
| Platform | Allowed subnet sizes | /19 allowed? | Usable after reservation |
|---|---|---|---|
| AWS VPC | /16 to /28 | Yes | 8,187 (5 reserved) |
| Azure VNet | /2 to /29 | Yes | 8,187 (5 reserved) |
| Google Cloud VPC | /4 to /29 | Yes | 8,188 (4 reserved) |
Cloud providers reserve addresses in every subnet (first four and the last address (network, VPC router, DNS, future use, broadcast) on AWS), so the usable count there differs from the classic 2^n - 2.
