Classful addressing was deprecated more than 15 years ago! Quoting RFC 4632: "With the full deployment of CIDR on the Internet, such scenarios are no longer operationally relevant." -- Daniel Stutzbach, Ph.D. President, Stutzbach Enterprises, LLC <http://stutzbachenterprises.com> "The plumage don't enter into it.
