determining the netmask

[Octavian Rasnita]

255 is 2 raised at 8 power.
There are 3 of 255. This means 24..

Oh, sorry, my english doesn't permit me to explain better.

> I know that a netmask of 255.255.255.0 is a 24-bit netmask. I also know
that 8 bits is a byte. However, I don't understand how it is determined that
255.255.255.0 is a 24-bit netmask. Can someone please explain this? Thanks
in advance.
