Refer to Figure 1:
1. Summarization for Winnipeg’s Routes:
[Link] = 10101100.00010000.01000000.00000000
[Link] = 10101100.00010000.01000001.00000000
[Link] = 10101100.00010000.01000010.00000000
[Link] = 10101100.00010000.01000011.00000000
Common bits: 10101100.00010000.010000xx
The first 22 bits of the four networks are common
Therefore the summary route is: [Link]/22

Common bits: 10101100.00010000.01001xxx
The first 21 bits of the four networks are common
Therefore the summary route is: [Link]/21
