An IP address can be written as a 32-bit number. For a class B network, the two most significant bits are set to 10. The 16 most signi cant bits are used as a network ID, and the 16 least signi cant bits are used as a host ID. However, the host ID cannot be all 0's or all 1's. How many hosts (i.e., host IDs) can there be on a class B network?
