Sorry to intrude.
I think I found a small typo, but it really needs to be addressed.


In the article, "Net Surfing with IP Protocol"
in the section called "Classes of IP Addresses"
in the 3rd paragraph, first line, it states :


[Class B networks (where high-order bits are set binary 01, see Figure 3)]
The "Figure 3" is wrong too.


I believe that the high order bits for a Class B network are to be 10 and not 01.
Only a high order bits of 10 can give a value of 128 to the 1st available class b network address.


A high order bit of "01" as stated in the article is incorrect and not available for class B since it gives a value of 64 that is in reality part of the Class A network address pool.


Sincerely,


Roberto Gelleni
