class A has a netmask of 255.0.0.0 (default for 10.x.x.x)
class B has netmask of 255.255.0.0 (default for 172.16-31.x.x)
class C has netmask of 255.255.255.0 (default for 192.168.x.x)

But that is all depreciated, because you can use any netmask that properly
covers any netblock. For example I use 255.255.255.248 for a wireless
proxy_arp subnet of my 255.255.255.0 LAN (which is in the 172.16-31.x.x
private range).

10.x.x.x is a "class A" private address.
172.16.x.x to 172.31.x.x are 16 contiguous "class B" private addresses.
192.168.0.x to 192.168.255.x at 256 contiguous "class C" private addresses.

I've put "classes" in quotes because classfull routing has become deprecated.
