Summary
  With a Class C address there are only 8 bits (4th octet) that can be manipulated or changed.
  2N–2 is the formula to use to calculate the available number of hosts and networks.
  A broadcast address for a network is when all host bits have a value of 1.
  A broadcast address is always the last address on a wire.
  A broadcast address identifies all hosts on a network.
  Wire addresses are always multiples of the least significant subnet bit.
  To calculate a wire address you must have an IP address and a mask.
  The multiple process is a quick and easy way to determine wire and broadcast addresses.
