Hi all

summary address 192.168.144.0/20 was explained previously(page 148) to forward any packets with destination ip address of

192.168.144.1 through 192.168.159.254

but how come when it comes to the same summary address 192.168.144.0/20 in page 149 it forwards

192.168.144.1 through 192.168.159.255
(i thought routers don't forward broadcasts by default)

P.S- Btw Awesome book

Thanks for the post!!
