Re: Another Prefix list question

After thinking about it a little more, I think I might be mistaken. I was
thinking of the "classic" sense of the word class C. If we go by the
definition below. Then I think Scott is correct.

A Class C address begins with binary 110. Therefore, the lowest number that
can be represented is 11000000, decimal 192. The highest number that can be
represented is 11011111, decimal 223. If an address contains a number in the
range of 192 to 223 in the first octet, it is a Class C address.
