Class D
 
Class D addresses are used for multicasts (messages sent to many hosts). Class D addresses are 
in this range:
224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255. 
Class E
 
Class E addresses are for experimental use. 
This addressing structure allows IP addresses to uniquely identify each physical network and each 
node on each physical network.
For each unique value of the network portion of the address, the base address of the range (host 
address of all zeros) is known as the network address and is not usually assigned to a host. Also, 
the top address of the range (host address of all ones) is not assigned, but is used as the broadcast 
address for simultaneously sending a packet to all hosts with the same network address.
Netmask
In each of the address classes previously described, the size of the two parts (network address and 
host address) is implied by the class. This partitioning scheme can also be expressed by a netmask 
associated with the IP address. A netmask is a 32-bit quantity that, when logically combined (using 
an AND operator) with an IP address, yields the network address. For instance, the netmasks for 
Class A, B, and C addresses are 255.0.0.0, 255.255.0.0, and 255.255.255.0, respectively.
For example, the address 192.168.170.237 is a Class C IP address whose network portion is the 
upper 24 bits. When combined (using an AND operator) with the Class C netmask, as shown here, 
only the network portion of the address remains:
11000000  10101000  10101010  11101101 (192.168.170.237)
combined with:
11111111  11111111  11111111  00000000 (255.255.255.0)
Equals:
11000000  10101000  10101010  00000000 (192.168.170.0)
As a shorter alternative to dotted-decimal notation, the netmask may also be expressed in terms of 
the number of ones from the left. This number is appended to the IP address, following a backward 
slash (/), as “/n.” In the example, the address could be written as 192.168.170.237/24, indicating 
that the netmask is 24 ones followed by 8 zeros.
