[c-nsp] VLSM

Though technically being allocated an address block of 200.100.0.0/16
provides you the same number of addresses, as say being allocated
4.100.0.0/16, or 150.100.0.0/16; this is true (256^2) .  But in the old
classful sense, they are NOT the same.  Especially if you are unfortunate
enough to still have to deal with RIPv1, or you are performing auto-summary.

Class B Space falls in the range between 128.0.0.0 and 191.255.255.255.  If
it falls out if that range, then it is not a "Class B", though it may be an
allocation of /16. 

It does still matter, if even only in very specific cases.  That's the point
I was trying to make.
