    IP addresses are divided into classes A, B, and C. Each class designates a different number of bits for network IDs and host IDs. Class A uses 8 bits for network IDs, allowing for 126 possible networks each supporting over 16 million hosts. Class B uses 16 bits for network IDs, allowing for 16,384 possible networks each supporting 65,534 hosts. Class C uses 24 bits for network IDs, allowing for over 2 million possible networks each supporting 254 hosts. The number of possible network IDs and hosts per network is determined by the number of bits used for each portion in the IP address class.

    Question: Identify how class of IP Address make the selection of network.

    IP Address Class A, B and C Network and Host Capacities


    In the preceding topics I introduced the concepts of IP address classes and showed how the classes related to
    ranges of IP addresses. Of the five classes, D and E are dedicated to special purposes, so I will leave those
    alone for now. Classes A, B and C are the ones actually assigned for normal (uncast) addressing purposes on IP
    internetworks, and therefore the primary focus of our continued attention.
    As we've seen, they differ in the number of bits (and octets) used for the network ID compared to the host ID.
    The number of different networks possible in each class is a function of the number of bits assigned to the
    network ID, and likewise, the number of hosts possible in each network depends on the number of bits
    provided for the host ID. We must also take into account the fact that one, two or three of the bits in the IP
    address is used to indicate the class itself, so it is effectively "excluded" from use in determining the number of
    networks (though again, it is still part of the network ID).
    Based on this information, we can calculate the number of networks in each class, and for each class, the
    number of host IDs per network. Table 45 shows the calculations.

    Address Bits Used To Possible Per Network

    224-2 =
    Class A 8 / 24 0xxx xxxx 1 8-1 = 7 27-2 = 126
    16,277,214
    Class B 16 / 16 10xx xxxx 2 16-2 = 14 214 = 16,384 216-2 = 65,534
    221 =
    Class C 24 / 8 110x xxxx 3 24-3 = 21 28-2 = 254
    2,097,152

    Let's walk through one line of this table so we can see how it works. I'll stick with class B since it's "in the
    middle". The basic division is into 16 bits for network ID and 16 bits for host ID. However, the first two bits of
    all class B addresses must be "10”, so that leaves only 14 bits to uniquely identify the network ID. This gives us
    a total of 214 or 16,384 class B network IDs. For each of these, we have 2 16 host IDs, less two, for a total of
    65,534.
    Why less two? For each network ID, two host IDs cannot be used: the host ID with all zeroes and the ID with all
    ones. These are addresses with "special meanings" as described in the topic that follows. You will also notice
    that 2 have been subtracted from the number of network IDs for class A. This is because two of the class a
    network IDs (0 and 127) is reserved. There are actually several other address ranges that are set aside in all
    three of the classes that I haven't shown here. They are listed in the topic on reserved, private and loopback
    addresses. (The exclusion of 0 and 127 from class A is probably the best-known address range reservation
    which is why I am explicit with that one in the table above.)
