What is the difference in a class a subnet mask and a class c?

The octets are different - a class a is 255.0.0.0 and a class C is 255.255.255.0 for a default subnet mask. Of course, if you are subnetting then this doesn't apply.

No, this is a common misconception. The application layer is the interface between programs (applications) and the network layers.

How do you trace the IP address And please tell the IP's 10.224.36.83 location and address?

To trace any IP addresses, just put the IP address at the back of IP2Location's url, such as http://www.ip2location.com/10.224.36.83 . 10.224.36.83 is a Private IP Address LAN. This is a Class A private IP range which is for huge organisations. It is for private use only and cannot be accessed on the internet.

What layer does the Mac layer use?

What is the future of modem?

It depends on what of modem you are referring to. Dial-up modems have been maxed out for years, and fewer and fewer people use dial-up every year. It will probably be almost completely gone within ten years.

Cable and DSL modems continue to gain in speed. 6 Mbp/s is a very common speed for cable modems these days, and can easily climb to 30 MBps with today's infrastructure. DSL is more dependent on city growth, since it doesn't reach well into rural areas like cable or satellite.

Does a switch work at the physical layer?

No...the physical layer is just that: The wires or COAX or fiber that physically makes up your network. If the switch were to work at a physical layer it would literally be opening or closing contacts to make the wires joined together be disconnected or connected...which is NOT the case, there is no physical opening/closing going on.

Switches I was trained on (in the mid-80's) worked based on MAC addresses of devices, that unique only-this-one-device-in-the-world number burned into end units. Or there is a possibility they might work higher up the protocol chain, on the Ethernet Address. it's been too long since I was involved with zeros and ones. But certainly not on the physical layer. Hopefully someone with more recent experience will update this answer for you...
