[comp.protocols.tcp-ip] ten bit subnet mask question.

Michael A. Contino <MAC@psuvm.psu.edu> (06/07/91)

We are considering using a ten bit subnet mask, 255.255.255.192, for a
soon to be installed Class B network.  Ten bits of subnet provides enough
subnets of the right size, seems technically good to do and is supportable
on our routers.

Are there problems with a ten bit subnet mask or reasons not to use such a
mask?
