But why are the .0 address unusable by hosts? It is not something like the .255 broadcast address. There shouldn't be any confusion if a host is assigned xxx.xxx.xxx.0. That host will be the 0th host (as opposed to the 1st host). It doesn't make sense to reserved an IP address just because it is designated as the network address. Unless it causes confusion to the routers. (but how?) Can anyone try to explain?
