It's because class C network has less number of hosts per network and thus suit the need of smaller organizations.pradeep.pawarMost of the ip addresses on a network range in class C which is 192.168.0.0, why class C? why not class B,C,D or E widely used?

Widely used? That's a wrong impression. All classes of network addresses are equally "widely used" - the reason they exist. Do some nslookup's and see for yourself.pradeep.pawarMost of the ip addresses on a network range in class C which is 192.168.0.0, why class C? why not class B,C,D or E widely used?

thanks.durgaIts how an IP address was 'read' when they were introduced.
Class A has 8 network bits and 24 host bits, so the maximum networks what can be formed are (2^8) -2, where as the number of hosts what can be accommodated is (2^24)-2. There are very very few enterprises who can use so many host IPs. hence leading to wastage of Ip addresses, the present class A IP mostly will be subnetted IPs and not a /8. Same is the case with Class B and Class C
Classes in current age don't mean much (except in few intricate networking concepts), IP addresses currently are allocated as VLSM , based on number of Hosts IPs the company needs
