networking - Can't understand the IP-addressing -


in ip-addressing example 25.34.12.56 class ip address.but mean 25.34.12.56/16 , class ip address that?

that's "classless inter-domain routing" format, cidr , specifies both address , subnet bitmask.

the 16 means significant 16 bits of bitmask ones, corresponds mask of 255.255.0.0, class b
