Most of the protocols used in the Internet are documented in the RFC
series of notes. Some of the items listed are undocumented. Further
information on protocols can be found in the memo "Official Internet
Protocols" [32]. The more prominent and more generally used are
documented in the "DDN Protocol Handbook" [12] prepared by the NIC.
Other collections of older or obsolete protocols are contained in the
"Internet Protocol Transition Workbook" [13], or in the "ARPANET
Protocol Transition Handbook" [14]. For further information on
ordering the complete 1985 DDN Protocol Handbook, contact the
Hostmaster.

Significance of Bits
NETWORK NUMBERS
The network numbers listed here are used as internet addresses by the
Internet Protocol (IP) [12,27]. The IP uses a 32-bit address field
and divides that address into a network part and a "rest" or local
address part. The division takes 4 forms or classes.
The first type of address, or class A, has a 7-bit network number and
a 24-bit local address. The highest-order bit is set to 0. This
allows 128 class A networks.

Class A Address
The second type of address, class B, has a 14-bit network number and
a 16-bit local address. The two highest-order bits are set to 1-0.
This allows 16,384 class B networks.

Class B Address
The third type of address, class C, has a 21-bit network number and a
8-bit local address. The three highest-order bits are set to 1-1-0.
This allows 2,097,152 class C networks.

Class D Address
Note: No addresses are allowed with the four highest-order bits set
to 1-1-1-1. These addresses, called "class E", are reserved.
One commonly used notation for internet host addresses divides the
32-bit address into four 8-bit fields and specifies the value of each
field as a decimal number with the fields separated by periods. This
is called the "dotted decimal" notation. For example, the internet
address of VENERA.ISI.EDU in dotted decimal is 010.001.000.052, or
10.1.0.52.
Network numbers are assigned for networks that are connected to the
research Internet and operational Internet, and for independent
networks that use the IP family protocols (these are usually
commercial). These independent networks are marked with an asterisk
preceding the number.
