A 32 bit mask represents only one IP address

in a network statement. In ACL's it is also referred to as a host. I'm not sure of a specific RFC for 32 bit subnet masks.

Oh come on make it harder RFC 950 is where it popped up.

A /32 mask is used to assign IP address to device like router id or loopback address.
