Ipv4 Address Classes: Dotted Quad Quiz

This document discusses IPv4 address classes. It explains that IPv4 addresses are made up of 32 bits and written in dotted quad notation. The first bits of the address indicate what class it belongs to - Class A has the first number between 0-127, Class B between 128-191, Class C between 192-223, Class D between 224-239, and Class E between 240-255. It provides a quiz to test identifying the class of sample IP addresses.

IPv4 Address Classes

Professor Don Colton

IPv4 is currently the main addressing method on number is between 192 and 223, we have a Class C
the Internet. (IPv6 is coming.) Students who plan address. Classes A, B, and C are used for normal
to use networking skills in their future careers should communications on the Internet. If the first number
have some technical skill with IPv4 addressing. is between 224 and 239, we have a Class D address.
This tutorial teaches you to identify the class of Class D is used for multicast. If the first number
an IP address. is between 240 and 255, we have a Class E address.
Class E addresses are reserved for experimental use
by authorized researchers (not you or me).
