Solve : IP Addressing?

1.	Solve : IP Addressing?
Answer» What is the meaning of IP in this format, (190.100.0.0/16 I)?Is this homework?Assume OP means CIDR notation. Was he paying attention in CLASS? His question is about a form of notation commonly used. OFTEN we understand a range of addresses to be inside of a 8 bit range, like this mask: 255.255.255.0 edit: 24 bit range. Which is a mask the says the range is from 0 to 255. But what if the range is larger? Fro example" 255.255.0.0 That means the addresses would be in a much, much wider range. It is a 16 bit range. Always looking for a way to make clarity obscure, somebody decided that the expression: 190.100.0.0/16 would mean to stat at the base address of 190.100.0.0 and continue for all address up to 16 bits higher. That would come to: 190.100.255.255 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CIDR_notation#CIDR_notation Classless Inter-Domain Routing is the official term At one time wit was also: Clueless Insipid Dumb rules. I thought IP was an awesome subtitled kung-fu movie? Wait: that was IP Man, my BAD. But seriously, Understanding IP's and the structure BEHIND them is hard to understand and can in no way be answered in a forum (although not bad Geek-9pm). When I decided to learn and understand all of this IP jibber/jabber, I hit the internet and found some lessons. Here is a good one from Cisco: http://www.cisco.com/en/US/tech/tk365/technologies_tech_note09186a00800a67f5.shtml
