Ok, I am about to graduate-I still don't understand this

What would this be?

127.34.567.0

Compared to

127.34.567.255

Also where can I find good info on packets + Protocols

Finally is RIP a Vertically Diverse Item? I forgot what that thing
was.

I like networking-but the book I have is a real eye ripper. I am sure
If I sit with a Easier Book, Things will materialize.

Thanks-test on Monday-YIKES!

I have to hand it to mike myers-Some folks bash his books, but they do
serve a intended purpose.
I would neevr get through schoolw with out them. I am going to order
His Network Book. thanks Mike!

Thanks To all

Well, they'd both be "invalid" since the third number is too large -- it
can't be over 255. Assuming that you change each to 67, it's still
not clear what you are asking. Since they are both in the 127.x.x.x
block, they are both just loopback addresses. But usually people just
use 127.0.0.1 for that.

If you change the 127 to something else, like say 219, then the first is
the address of a class C (or /24) network. The second (219.34.67.255) is
the directed broadcast address of that network.

Which ones?

"Vertically diverse"? Are you sure that is the right term? I've never
heard it before.

Good luck.

charles...probably meant "vector distance" (RIP) vice "link state" (OSPF).

Ah! Yes, I should have figured that out.

Yes, RIP is a distance-vector routing protocol. In fact, it is the classic
example of a DV routing protocol.

Maybe he means:
127.34.67.0 (network address)
127.34.67.255 (broadcast address)
