You can borrow a minimum of 2 bits and a maximum of 6 bits from a class C IP address IP ADDRESSING AND SUBNETTING 192.5.5.0

11. 11 SUBNET MASKS Why do you need a subnet mask? Hosts and routers use the ANDing process to determine if a destination host is on the same network or not. The ANDing operation happens any time a host wants to send a packet to another host on an IP network. The result of the 1st AND is to identify the network where the source host resides. It will then compare the destination IP address to its own subnet mask (2nd AND) to determine the network address of the destination host.

12. 12 SUBNET MASKS Host x (Source) on network 200.1.1.0 (Class C Network) has an IP address of 200.1.1.5 and wants to send a packet to Host Z (Destination) on network 200.1.2.0 and has an IP address of 200.1.2.8. All hosts on each network are connected to hubs or switches and then to a router (Remember that with a class C network, ARIN assigns the first 3 octets (24 bits) as the network address, so these are two different networks.

14. 14 SUBNET MASKS Host X now knows that host Z is not in its Local Area Network (LAN) and it must send the packet to its “Default Gateway” which is the IP address of the router interface of 200.1.1.1 on network 200.1.1.0. The router will then repeat the ANDing process to determine which router interface to send the packet out.
