Hi @Naga_J_Sugguna,
High-order bits, in the context of binary representation, refer to the bits that are at the beginning or the leftmost part of a binary number. These bits have higher positional significance and represent larger numerical values. In the context of IP addresses, high-order bits are the bits at the beginning of the address that are used to determine characteristics such as the address class or the network portion of the address. They are also known as the most significant bits (MSB). The opposite of high-order bits is low-order bits, which are at the end or rightmost part of the binary representation and represent smaller numerical values.
