class A == /32
class B == /48
class C == /56
hostroute == /64
It's quite arbitrary though, unlike the old classful IPv4 divisions -
a matter of policy, not technology. The allocation sizes can and do
vary over both time (as policy changes, IIRC RIPE used to assign
/35s iirc, now it's /32) and between different RIRs.
A hostroute is /128 btw. ;)
