Specify the class of address and the subnet ID for the following cases:
a.
b.
c.
4. Part of a networking infrastructure consists of three routers R1, R2, and R3 and six
networks N1 through N6, as shown in figure. All address entries of each router are
also given as seen in the figure. Specify how many hosts can be addressed in
network N1.

8. Using VLSM calculate the NetID for 1 subnets with 125 hosts and 3 subnet
with 20 hosts. Your NetID for entire network is 195.240.254.0/24

9. The following are estimates of the population of major regions of the world: Africa
900 million; South America 500 million; North America 400 million; East Asia
1500 million; South and Central Asia 2200 million; Russia 200 million; Europe 500
million. Suppose each region is to be assigned 100 IP addresses per person. Is this
possible? If not, how many addresses can be assigned per person?

Number of IP addresses: 126 * 16 777 214 + 16 384 * 65 534 + 2 097 152 * 254 = ?
Compare this result with the needed number of needed IP addresses. The answer is the
available IP addresses are not enough. What if each person needs 1 instead of 100 IPs?
