Three common IP addresses are of Cass A, B, and C. (Class D is for special use and is

beyond the scope of this discussion.) These classes have different uses and

per network. Such 126 class A networks can hold at least two billion PCs. These

enormous networks are quite suitable for the LAN or Internet fundamental

organizations such as Internet service provider (ISP).

The class B network is relatively smaller than the class A network, but it still allows

16,384 class B networks and 65,000 hosts in each class B network. This kind of

network is suitable for the large organization
