1 Explain The Addressing Scheme of TCP

The TCP/IP addressing scheme divides IP addresses into classes A, B, and C based on the number of bits used for the network ID and host ID. IP addresses are 32-bit numbers written in dotted decimal notation with each 8-bit octet separated by a period. The subnet mask identifies the subnet and network segment that a device is attached to. As IP addresses ran out, IPv6 was developed with a new larger addressing scheme.

1 Explain the addressing scheme of TCP/IP:

TCP/IP classes
The powers that allocate IP addresses arbitrarily broke up IP space into the network classes A,B, & C. Networks recognize two addresses
Logical (Network layer) IP Address Physical (MAC, hardware) addresses

IP protocol handles logical addressing


Specific parameters
Unique 32-bit number
Divided into 4 octets (sets of 8 bits) Separated by periods

Example: 144.92.43.178

IP ADDRESS

IP ADDRESS CLASS

Table 4-1 Commonly used TCP/IP classes

Class A devices
Share same first octet (bits 0-7)
Network ID

Host: second through fourth octets (bits 8-31)

Class B devices
Share same first two octet (bits 0-15) Host: second through fourth octets (bits 16-31)

Class C devices
Share same first three octet (bits 0-23) Host: second through fourth octets (bits 24-31)

binary and dotted decimal notation


Decimal number between 0 and 255 represents each binary octet Period (dot) separates each decimal Dotted decimal address has binary equivalent
Converting each octet Remove decimal points

subnet mask
Identifies every device on TCP/IP-based network 32-bit number (net mask)
Identifies devices subnet
Combines with device IP address Informs network about segment, network where device attached

Four octets (32 bits)


Expressed in binary or dotted decimal notation

Assigned same way as IP addresses


Manually, or automatically (via DHCP)

Running out of addresses


IPv6 incorporates new addressing scheme

Loop back address


First octet equals 127 (127.0.0.1)

Loopback test
Attempting to connect to own machine Powerful troubleshooting tool

Windows XP, Vista


ipconfig command

Unix, Linux
ifconfig command
