Link-Local Addresses (169.254.0.0 /16)
this is a special address that is set aside for teaching and learning purposes
Test-Net Addresses (192.0.2.0 /24)
Number of possible networks and hosts in Class A
2^7 nets with 2^24-2 hosts per net (around 16 Million host addresses per network)
Number of possible networks and hosts in Class B
2^14 nets with 2^16-2 hosts per net (around 65, 000 hosts per network)
Number of possible networks and hosts in Class C
2^21 nets with 2^8-2 per net (around 254 hosts per network)
Limitation of Classful Addressing
*not all organizations addressing requirements fit well into one of the three classes
*wasted address space
the system of addressing currently in use
classless addressing
Why must one plan an addressing scheme
*prevention of duplication
*providing and controlling access
*monitoring security and performance
Types of Hosts
