   Old style network broadcast address

   Dear all,   
      
   I was not allowed to assign an IP address like 192.168.0.0/16 to a network   
   interface in a VxWorks environment. The source code says address like   
   192.168.0.0 is old style broadcast address, it's not permitted.  Is there any   
   standard or document mentioning    
   this old style broadcast address?  If I use such an address in a network, what   
   will happen?   
      
   Best regards,   
   Yuwen
