Get over it... your statement is factually incorrect.... what you are
probably referring to is the old-style [sub]net broadcast address
Classfull:
192.0.0.0: old-style broadcast -- last 0 only (Class C)
162.198.0.0: old-style broadcast (Class B)
192.0.0.[1-254]: your statement is wrong (Class C)
168.0.0.0: old style broadcast -- last two 0s only(Class B)
12.12.12.12/255.240.0.0: why not complain about this?
^^ ^^^ : subnet = 0 (Class A w/4-bit subnet)
Classless(no subnetting):
192.168.1.0/16: valid non-zero host part
12.0.1.0/23: valid non-zero host part
129.0.0.0/7: valid non-zero host part
Not to mention this is IP part only; not TCP/IP...
