afaik, /24 is the cidr (classless inter-domain routing) notation for
netmasks. under cidr, there aren't the standard class a, b, and c
networks -- there's also supersetted class a and b groups, made up of
class c addresses that have the same high 8 or 16 bits, respectively.
there's also every range in between, removing the restrictions of having
256/65536/etc addresses allocated to a single group. /24 means a netmask
of 24 bits, aka a class c type address, /16 would be an effective class b,
and so forth.
