In RFC 791, but rewritten better in RFC 1365: Class A has the highest order bit set to 0, a 7 bit network number and a 24 bit host address. Class B has the two higher order bits set to 10, a 14 bit network number and a 16 bit host address. Class C has the three higher order bit set to 110, a 21 bit network number and a 8 bit host address. 192.168/16 192 makes it class C; /16 makes it class B. You pick class B. I pick class C. In either case it is a private IP address, and IP address classes no longer matter in the real world (except for IP address masks in IBM's support of OSPF in OMPROUTE. grrrr.)
