private ip addresses
The address 127.0.0.1 is typically listed in the hosts file as "127.0.0.1 localhost". This entry maps the loopback IP address to the hostname "localhost", allowing the system to resolve requests to its own network interface. The hosts file is commonly found in locations like /etc/hosts on Unix/Linux systems and C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts on Windows. This mapping enables local network communication and testing without the need for an external network connection.
No, 255.255.255.255 is a special address known as the limited broadcast address in IPv4. It is used to send packets to all hosts on the local network segment and cannot be assigned to any individual host. Therefore, it does not have hosts associated with it.
That is called a broadcast address.

62 hosts.
Class A
Hosts on different networks communicate using a layer-3 address (layer 3 in the OSI reference model). In the networks used today, that would normally be an IP address.
hosts file is my guess /etc/hosts windooze/system32/drivers/etc/hosts
15.242.55.6227 is an invalid IP address.
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.

4.1 to 7.254
