See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IP_address#IP_version_4_addresses
That will show you that the first octet of an ipv4 IP address can range from
1 - 223
For classes A, B, and C.
Just out of the curiousity, is there any good rationale for having it this way?
Look at the bit pattern in the 2nd column in the table that defines the three classes: A 0XXX XXXX B 10XX XXXX C 110X XXXX I guess they might be able define additional classes: D? 1110 XXXX E? 1111 0XXX etc. I don't know why it stops at A,B,C, but suspect it might have something to do with routers and how they can break up address ranges to direct IPs to different networks. This other bits might take on different meanings. Anyone know any better? Bob -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
