I still call a /24 a class c too.. :/ lol
More efficient that way - "class c" uses fewer syllables than
"slash
twenty four" :-)

You realize that class-c address space was only found within 192/8
e.g.
if you print it in hex, C0000000. so not only is it historically
irrelevant but you're using it wrong anyway.
But, class B is not B0000000 and A is not A0000000, so is that actually true, or just a coincidence?
yeah /3 not /8

class-a is the first half of the address space
class-b is the next 1/4
...
Class C was actually 192.0.0.0-223.255.255.255 (192.0.0.0/3)
