you should use Class B Private IP Address. Because in Class C, you will get maximum254 and in Class A private ip address. In class B you will get maximum65534 ip address. for1000 pc your ip address range would be172.16.0.1-172.16.3.254.

you can use any classes (excluding D and E).

as we have the tools known as " Supernetting  and subnetting "

class A ip address scheme is the best approach as it will provide more flexibility and segregation for future scalibility.

In  Class B address you will achieve  all you need.256*256=65,536 excluding the broadcast addresses.

You can use Class B(4 IP addresses)

But if i were you i would opt classless IP ranges( Supernetting & Subnetting)

- There is much less waste of IP addresses. as you can define your own range of IP addresses.

- It will be easier to configure routing if you are in a large enterprise.

- If you firm has branch offices spread out, it will help you create your own classless network ranges.

- Good in security.

- VPN, Vlans, routing etc will minimal and less heck tick.

- Only disadvantage over classfull IP address is that it is slightly more CPU intensive than the latter (But the CPU consumption i am referring is very minimal, unrealistic and negligible).

- These are more difficult to understand and configure properly. Once you get over it , you will increase your state confidence and Knowledge in Networking as an whole.
