Typically, users don't choose how to configure their hosts, network managers configure the hosts for the users. The hosts are configured to reflect the layout of the network. An organization with enough hosts to reasonably use a /22 address range, (300-800 hosts ?) will typically need a segmented network architecture. The 10 bits of local address might typically be 4 bits of subnet-ID and 6 bits of local address. This type of question might more appropriately be asked on the comp.protocols.tcp-ip USENET group. / Lars Poulsen lars@RNS.COM +1-805-562-3158 RNS / Meret Communications 7402 Hollister Avenue Goleta, CA 93117
