6(c) An ISP is granted a block of addresses starting with 190.100.0.0/16. The ISP needs to distribute these addresses to three groups of customers as follows:
i) The first group has 64 customers ; each needs 256 addresses
ii) The second group has 128 customers; each needs 128 address
iii) The third group has 128 customers ; each needs 64 addresses
Design the sub blocks and find out how many addresses are still available after these allocations.
