Definition of IP range

Hi!
Need to know the definition of the concept "ip range". Does the term "ip range" include Net ID and broadcast address or doesn't it.
Is there a RFC document about this or is it just a loose term.

The range refers to the router being used a DHCP server that assigns addresses to attached nodes.
eg. I have 10 PCs on my LAN so I want my range to include 10 IP addresses such as .2 thru .11. It does not refer to the default gateway address; only IPs it is going to lease out as the NAT server of those IP addresses.

And what would you call a range of ip statically assigned?
Ip range is just that, a range of ip addresses. That range could include the gateway address, dns servers or whatever. Its just has a beginning and a end.
See here for an example: http://www.more.net/technical/netserv/tcpip/private.html

Well it didn't answer my question but it seems as the term "ip range" generally is a term that loosely means a bounch of ip-addresses (that may or may not include the Net ID and Broadcast)

Ip range is simply a logical start and finish of your addressing

loven your question was answered and is NOT just a bunch of ip addresses. In other words 192.168.0.1 to 192.168.0.254 is a range of ip addresses. Those ip addresses can be gateways, servers, wksts or whatever.
Range is not defined by usage.
Now 200.200.10.1, 65.0.0.2 and 10.10.0.1 are NOT a range of ip addresses but they are a bunch of ip addresses
