A network with 6 bits remaining for the host portion can accommodate (2^6 = 64) total addresses. However, two addresses are reserved: one for the network address and one for the broadcast address. Therefore, the number of usable hosts in this network will be (64 - 2 = 62).

What is used to separate the host address portion of an IP address from the network address?

The subnet mask is used for this purpose. It indicates how much of the address is for network, and the remaining part is for the hosts.

How many usable hosts are there per subunit?

The number of usable hosts per subunit is calculated by subtracting 2 from the total number of IP addresses in that subunit. This is because one address is reserved for the network address and another is reserved for the broadcast address.

How many network and host bits are available in ipv4?

In IPv4, there are a total of 32 bits in an IP address. The number of network and host bits varies depending on the subnet mask used. Typically, the first part of the bits represents the network portion, while the remaining bits represent the host portion. For example, in a common subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 (or /24), there are 24 bits for the network and 8 bits for hosts.


Which information is used by the router to determine the path between the source and destination hosts?

What are the advantages of Class A network over Class B and Class C?

A class A network has more IP addresses - you can connect more hosts on it.A class C network has 256 IP addresses (of which you can use 254), a class B network about 65,000, a class A network about 17 million.More specifically, a Class A network can have 16,777,214 usable host addresses per network whereas a Class B network can have 65,6534 usable host addresses per network.Another advantage is the ridiculous amounts of subnetting you can do. For example, in a Class C network, you can't borrow the same number of bits as you can with a Class A because you only have the last octet to work with for the host portion. With a Class A network, the last three octets are the entire host portion, so you have 24 bits to work with for subnetting (technically 23 since you can't subnet down through all available bits and have no bits left for hosts =p). Due to the amount of subnets you can have and the 16+ million hosts you can potentially have on the same network, Class A networks are reserved for super big applications (ISPs and gigantic companies).
