Supernetting question
#1
© An organisation is to set up a network that supports 2000 hosts.  The Internet router attached to the organisation?s gateway (219.138.120.1) has the following entries in its routing table:

219.138.120.0 255.255.255.0 219.138.120.1
219.138.121.0 255.255.255.0 219.138.120.1
219.138.122.0 255.255.255.0 219.138.120.1
219.138.123.0 255.255.255.0 219.138.120.1
219.138.124.0 255.255.255.0 219.138.120.1
219.138.125.0 255.255.255.0 219.138.120.1
219.138.126.0 255.255.255.0 219.138.120.1
219.138.127.0 255.255.255.0 219.138.120.1

(i) What are the reasons for allocating eight Class C addresses rather than a single Class B address?


(ii) What inefficiency would result from having eight network addresses point to the same network?


(iii) What is the solution to solve the inefficiency?
