In networking why classA has only 8 bits for identifying network?
I am curious about why Class A in networking only has 8 bits for identifying network. Can you explain that to me?
Certainly! Class A addresses are used for networks that have a very large number of hosts, with each network having up to 2^24, or 16,777,216 addresses. The first octet of a Class A address represents the network portion of the address and is assigned by a central organization. That's why Class A only has 8 bits for identifying network.
