Absolutely, understanding IP address classes is an important aspect of networking. Here's the continuation of the description:

IP Address Classes:

• IP addresses can be divided into two main components: the network ID and the host ID.
• The address class system is a way of dividing the global IP address space into different classes based on the structure of the IP address.
• There are three primary IP address classes: Class A, Class B, and Class C.

Class A Addresses:

• First octet is used for the network ID, and the last three octets are used for the host ID.
• Total of 24 bits for host ID space, yielding 2^24 (16,777,216) possible addresses.

Class B Addresses:

• First two octets are used for the network ID, and the remaining two are used for the host ID.
• Total of 16 bits for host ID space, yielding 2^16 (65,536) possible addresses.

Class C Addresses:

• First three octets are used for the network ID, and the last octet is used for the host ID.
• Total of 8 bits for host ID space, yielding 2^8 (256) possible addresses.
