no, it's a set of 16 contiguous class B's, and hence it is actually
multiple /16's as opposed to a /12...

...if we're going to be picky about what classful address space is.. ;)

the fact remains that when most people these days say "i want a class
C" they mean "i want a slash-twenty-four" and "i've not read any of the
registry documents concerning efficient use of address space, i either
don't know what ENAT is or am going to ignore it as a possibilty, etc
etc". ;)
