Most 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?0

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?Are you sure? This action cannot be undone. -

Class C ip addresses are perfect for a network where there are about 100 clients(rough figure). Class C IP address is thus generalized as default and is used in basic configurations. Apart from this, the number of hosts it supports, there is no other particular reason to justify it.Are you sure? This action cannot be undone. -

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?Are you sure?

That's because C class provides large not of net masks as well as subnet masks as much as hosts are available.Are you sure? This action cannot be undone. -

Its 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 needsAre you sure? This action cannot be undone. -
