KembaraXtra–Computer Terms – /16 network
A /16 network refers to an IP addressing structure traditionally associated with Class B networks. This type of network supports more than sixteen thousand individual network segments and provides space for over sixty-five thousand hosts on each segment. Such a configuration became important in medium-to-large organizations that required extensive address space for machines, devices, and internal subnets. It represents a balance between the enormous size of Class A networks and the smaller scale of Class C networks.
