The notation "192.168.0.0/24" represents a specific range of IP addresses within a private network. The "/24" indicates that the first 24 bits of the address are used for the network part, allowing for 256 possible addresses (from 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.0.255). This range is commonly used in home and small business networks. As part of the IPv4 addressing scheme, the 192.168.x.x range is designated for private use, meaning it is not routable on the public internet. Devices within this range can communicate with each other locally, but they require a router to access the internet.
