The only problem I see with 10/8 is that when broken down into binary they
do not match

10.0.0.0/8

00001010000000000000000000000000
11111111000000000000000000000000

and just 10

00000000000000000000000000001010
11111111000000000000000000000000

the significance of one "octet" is that the above(10.0.0.0) can be written
in this form as 167772160 which doesn't equal 10
