Hello guys,
I have a few questions --
There are different classes for IP addressing
32-bit IP address with octate representation and maximum range from 0-255 representation for the same.
Like Class A - range from 1-126 - for the first octate with the format being
_____________________
|Network|Host|Host|Host|
------------------------------
This is for the class A IP addressing method and that for class B the range of the first octate is from 128-191.
________________________
|Network|Network|Host|Host|
----------------------------------
and for class C IP addressing method, the range of the first octane is 192-223.
____________________________
|Network|Network|Network|Host|
---------------------------------------
There is Class D (224-239) and Class E (240-255) , which can be used for further WAN and AI networks.
THE QUESTION IS
I want to know the reason why 127 is not considered when we have a transisiton from Class A and Class B networks?
and on what basis the range of these networks have been divided like the range of these networks specified as accoring to the Class?
with regards,
