172.16.0.1 is a private IP range and is not routable on the Internet. So an
ISP would not give you this range. See RFC's 1918 and RFC 1597.

Subject: IP Address [7:5786]
Hi Group members,
I came across a question in a Transcender exam in which they give a network
address as 172.16.0.1/21. This address is given by an ISP to your network.
Is that address a possible network address? It looks to me as a host
address. What I'm missing here?
Regards to all
Adia
