And you are merely demonstrating that whilst you know one little
factoid, you are fucking ignorant about much else.
The internet at large went classless because the BGP routers could
handle the table sizes involved.
The class ABC terminology persisted as a neat way to refer to specific
netmasks
And the private networkls of those sizes were defined to never be on a
public network or routable by BGP
In the end its the usual mix of pedantry, technical issues and common
speech.
https://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/html/rfc1918
RFC 1918 may be 30 years old, but it is still in effect. And it refers
to classful networks
In a private network you can do WTF you like and have network spaces at
any one bit boundary of a netmask . You can probably create even weirder
netmasks than 2^n -1 boundaries, though only Farley Flud would try one.
Most people stick to the simple cases. And split into 'class C sized'
subnets even in larger corporations because it limits the extent of
broadcast floods. Even though switches already limit traffic between
nodes to that which is desired only.
Carlos has a point. If Starlink restrict his router to a precise local
IP and netmask, if he wants more he has no real option than to create
some routable subnet .
