An IP address consists of a host and a network portion. Coupled with a subnet mask, you can determine which part is the subnet, how large the network is, and where the network begins. Operating systems need to know this information in order to determine what IP addresses are on the local subnet and which addresses belong to the outside world and require a router to reach. Neighboring routers also need to know how large the subnet is, so they can send only applicable traffic that direction. Divisions between host and network portions of an address are completely determined by the subnet mask.
Classless Internet Domain Routing (CIDR), pronounced "cider," represents addresses using the network/mask style. What this really means is that an IP address/mask combo tells you a lot of information

Because of the wonders of binary, it works out that a /31 has two IP addresses available. Imagine the subnet: 2.2.2.0/31. If we picture that in binary, it looks like:
00000010.00000010.00000010.00000000 (2.2.2.0)
11111111.11111111.11111111.11111110 (31)
The mask is "masking" the used bits, meaning that the bits are used up for network identification. The number of host bits available for tweaking is equal to one. It can be a 0 or a 1. This results in two available IP addresses, just like the table shows. Also, for each additional bit used in the netmask (stolen from the network portion), you can see that the number of available addresses gets cut in half.
Let's figure out the broadcast address, network address, and netmask for 192.168.0.200/26. The netmask is simple: that's 255.255.255.192 (26 bits of mask means 6 bits for hosts, 2^6 is 64, and 255-64 is 191). You can find subnetting tables online that will list all of this information for you, but we're more interested in teaching people how to understand what's happening. The netmask tells you immediately that the only part of the address we need to worry about is the last byte: the broadcast address and network address will both start with 192.168.0.
