A class C network supports the most networks - the first three octets or 24 bits gives the largest grouping of networks.

This question is unanswered.


What is a class A IP address?

IP Address consists of 32 binary digits. Class A IP addresses are the ones with the 8 most significant bits of the form (0xxxxxx) -where x represents the net ID- and the rest of the IP is host ID. A class IP address usually used in cases where the number of networks is relatively low with very large number of hosts.


Why are IP address classes needed?

The short answer is that they aren't. Class A,B,C networks are outdated; most everyone uses classless networks these days. Check out CIDR or "Variable Length Subnet Masking". Classful IP addresses were a shortsighted construct. They did not scale well and eventually were replaced.


Which IP address class allows for the most network addresses and the least amount of host addresses?

A class C address.


How many bits class A networks are reserved for private address space?

in Class A addresses the first bit identifies the class. The next 7 bits identify the network and the rest are the IP's that belong to that network. However these networks are then broken down using subnets . Class A networks are not given to private clients or small private organisations. So if you want to know how many bits are there for identifying hosts in a Class A network, the answer is 32-8 = 24 bits. However if you mean how many bits are reserved for hosts in your private network space, that depends on your subnet and router. Most routers use NAT to allow multiple hosts to use a single external IP address. I hope this answers your question :)


Which network class can support the most hosts?

The classful network A provides 16,777,216, the most available in classful networks.Unfortunately a class A network only allows for 256 possible networks.This is of course IPv4 stuffRemember the entire IPv4 address space is 32 bits wideIn class A the network mask is 255.0.0.0 meaning that the first octet or eight spaces are reserved for networks and the remaining 24 bits are available for host.OK so the number of host are 2^24 or 16,777,216 English 16 million 777 thousand and 216 hostsAnd don't forget all networks and subnets require reserving the first and last address for the network and the broadcast address.


Can your phone pick up a wireless network?

Many can. If your phone supports WiFi then it will connect to most B/G/N wireless networks.

What is Class C IP address?

Class A, B and C Based on the split of the 32 bits, an IP address is either Class A, B or C, the most common of which is Class C. More than two million Class C addresses are assigned, quite often in large blocks to network access providers for use by their customers. The fewest are Class A networks, which are reserved for government agencies and huge companies. Although people identify the class by the first number in the IP address (see table below), a computer identifies class by the first three bits of the IP address (A=0; B=10; C=110). This class system has also been greatly expanded, eliminating the huge disparity in the number of hosts that each class can accommodate (see http://www.answers.com/topic/cider). See http://www.answers.com/topic/private-ip-address-technology and http://www.answers.com/topic/ip-technology.

The host bits are further divided between subnets and hosts. See subnet mask.


What is mean by in a network address?

That would depend on what you mean by address. If you mean the group of numbers e.g. 192.168.1.1 then this is the network address and it is the unique address of the computer or device upon a network - there are three classes of the types of IP (Internet Protocol) addresses for use in internal and external networks, those with an address starting 192.168.x.x are three main classes of IPv4. Class C are for internal networks with less than 254 devices and always start 192.168.x.x Class B are for larger private networks and start 10.10.x.x and Class A are for internet connection and are issued to you by your ISP. There are reserved IP addresses e.g. 127.0.0.0 is the device's internal IP address.
