An ISP is granted a block of addresses starting with 150.80.0.0/16. The ISP want to distributed these blocks of 2600 customers as follows:
(i) The first group has 2600 medium size business; each needs 16 addresses.
(ii) The second group has 400 small business; each needs 8 addresses.
(iii) The third group has 2000 households; each needs 4 addresses.
Design the sublocks and give the slash notation for each sublock. Find out how many addresses are still available after these allocations.
