First of all, you cannot use IP addresses at your
whims and wishes.. so to decide what IP to use for big
or small subnets is out of question. Secondly, on an
intranet you can use whatsoever IP addresses with NAT
and with whichsoever mask. It does not matter what IP
address is to be classified in a particular class.
Just for sake of convenience depending on the mask you
can call it CLass A or B or C . But essentially it is
different from original Class A, B and C.
