". The new
"/x
" specifier indicates how many bits of the
address, starting from the MSB, are to be interpreted as the
"network" part, leaving the remainder to be interpreted as "host"

. This
means that the address part is 22 bits, and the host part is 10
bits, giving 1024 host IDs. As usual, we write all zeros in the
host part of the address when referring to the "network"
itself.203
