I doubt HBGary reads HN. And if he does, it's only for reconnaissance missions.

What are you talking about? It is a critical part of Layer 3 of the OSI Model!!

Apparently there are people I insulted that still use that terminology. It really makes you sound, umm, managerial and pointy haired when you use those.

What is the correct terminology?

Could you enlighten me? What is a better way to refer to /24 /16 /8 networks?

/16 obviously. Say it aloud a few times and just feel how it flows off the tongue. "slash sixteen, slash sixteen." So much smoother than getting tongue tied saying "class B" out loud...

OK, I thought there was a more technical reason for not using Class A/B/C.

What would you call 192/8? I would call it 192/8, but I don't even know if it's a valid network in the classful world.

Good point.
