Examples for securing/fortifying WC8 towards internet access?

0 means for any class C, not just 192.168.1. But limited to class C only,
0.0.0.0, or any.any.any.0

0 means for any class C, not just 192.168.1. But limited to class C only,
0.0.0.0, or any.any.any.0

 
So 192.168.0.0 would enable access for the whole 192.168.0.0/16 subnet? (ie 192.168.0.0 to and including 192.168.255.255) ??
 
In an arbitary network, would 10.0.1.1  be valid, and does it mean that any routers across the whole site could connect, if they were
   10.1.1.1  or   10.2.1.1   or 10.56.1.1 or 10.250.1.1, but would NOT permit access from normal workstations such as 10.1.1.50 ?
 
(I can't think of an immediate application for it, but it's in interesting idea)

Only limited to class C, so that 192.168.0.0 will have 192.168.0.1 to 192.168.0.254
10.0.1.0 will have 10.0.1.1 to 10.0.1.254
internal logic only check if all zero, like 0.0.0.0 allow all, or last digit is 0 allow up to 254 host IP address.
 
or exact match, like 192.168.1.15, or 10.0.1.16. etc.
