Solutions to Odd-Numbered Review Questions and Exercises
Review Questions
- An IPv4 address is 32 bits long. An IPv6 address is 128 bits long.
- Classful addressing assigns an organization a Class A, Class B, or Class C block of addresses. Classless addressing assigns an organization a block of contiguous addresses based on its needs.
- A block in class A address is too large for almost any organization. This means most of the addresses in class A are wasted and not used. A block in class C is probably too small for many organizations.
- The network address in a block of addresses is the first address. The mask can be ANDed with any address in the block to find the network address.
- Multicast addresses in IPv4 are those that start with the 1110 pattern. Multicast addresses in IPv6 are those that start with the 11111111 pattern.

- a. Class E (first four bits are 1s) b. Class B (first bit is 1 and second bit is 0)
c. Class C (first two bits are 1s and the third bit is 0) d. Class D (first three bits are 1s and the fourth bit is 0)
- With the information given, the first address is found by ANDing the host address with the mask 255.255.0.0 (/16).
The last address can be found by ORing the host address with the mask comple- ment 0.0.255.255.
However, we need to mention that this is the largest possible block with 2 16 addresses. We can have many small blocks as long as the number of addresses divides this number.
a. log 2 500 = 8.95 Extra 1s = 9 Possible subnets: 512 Mask: /17 (8+9) b. 2 32 โ^17 = 2^15 = 32,768 Addresses per subnet c. Subnet 1: The first address in the this address is the beginning address of the block or 16.0.0.0. To find the last address, we need to write 32,767 (one less than the number of addresses in each subnet) in base 256 (0.0.127.255) and add it to the first address (in base 256).
d. Subnet 500: Note that the subnet 500 is not the last possible subnet; it is the last subnet used by the organization. To find the first address in subnet 500, we need to add 16,351,232 (499 ร 32678) in base 256 (0. 249.128.0) to the first address in sub- net 1. We have 16.0.0.0 + 0.249.128.0 = 16.249.128.0. Now we can calculate the last address in subnet 500.
a. log 2 32 = 5 Extra 1s = 5 Possible subnets: 32 Mask: /29 (24 + 5) b. 2 32 โ^29 = 8 Addresses per subnet

d. The number of address in this block is 2^32 โ^30 = 4. We need to add 3 (one less) addresses (0.0.0.3 in base 256) to the first address to find the last address.
- The site has 2^32 โ^22 = 2^10 = 1024 from 120.60.4.0/22 to 120.60.7.255/22 addresses. One solution would be to divide this block into 128 8-address sub-blocks as shown in Figure 19.1. The ISP can assign the first 100 sub-blocks to the current customers and keep the remaining 28 sub-blocks. Of course, this does not mean the future customer have to use 8-address subblocks. The remaining addresses can later be divided into different-size sub-blocks (as long as the three restrictions mentioned in this chapter are followed). Each sub-block has 8 addresses. The mask for each sub-block is /29 (32 โ log 2 8). Note that the mask has changed from /22 (for the whole block) to /29 for each subblock because we have 128 sub-blocks (2^7 = 128).
Sub-blocks:
1024 โ 800 = 224 addresses left (from 120.60.7.31 to 120.60.7.155)

- The node identifier is 0000:0000:1211. Assuming a 32-bit subnet identifier, the subnet address is 581E:1456:2314:ABCD:0000 where ABCD:0000 is the subnet identifier.
