2^16-2=65534
16 384 networks are available in Class B network.
This address is for a class B network (128 - 191)
65,534
Class B network
the answer should be B
In a Class B range, the first network address would be 128.0.0.0 and the last network address would be 191.255.0.0 Class B addresses are assigned to medium-sized to large-sized networks with up to 65,534 hoasts per network.
The maximum number of hosts per class B network is 65536.
There are three "classes" of IPv4 subnets. Essentially, these refer to which "octet" is set. Class A: A /8 network (netmask 255.0.0.0) - the first octet is set and the rest belong to you. i.e. 128.x.y.z. You have 256x256x256/2^24 IPs available here. Class B: a /16 network (netmask 255.255.0.0) - the first two octets are set and the rest belong to you, i.e. 128.67.y.z. You have 256x256/2^16 IPs available. Class C: a /24 network (netmask 255.255.255.0) - the first three octets are set and the use of the fourth is yours, i.e. 128.67.4.z. You have 256/2^8 IPs available. It's possible your question may have meant types of addresses used (for routing purposes). There are broadcast addresses (send a packet to everyone on my local network), unicast (basically point-to-point connections, the most common) and multicast (senders/receivers communicate through a multicast IP, sending one packet to many destinations with just one transmission).
Class B
W value is the Network Bit i.e, 128-191 for Class B or 192-223 for Class C or 1-126 for Class A
Thirty bits make up the network portion of a class C address. Three bits are borrowed for the subnet mask. There is also a class A and a class B that are comprised of bits.
License? Where do you get this? In a Class B network there are 2 to the 16th power addresses. Class B = 255.255.0.0 65536 addresses In a Class A network there are 2 to the 24th power addresses Class A = 255.0.0.0 16,777,216 addresses In a class C network there are 2 to the 8th power addresses Class C = 255.255.255.0 256 addresses Class A around 16 million Class B around 65,000 Class C is actually 254 NOT 256. IP addresses are leased and therefore the lessee is given a license to use that particular IP address.
