Practical - 4

The document explains the structure and classification of IPv4 addresses, which consist of 4 octets with values ranging from 0 to 255. It details the five classes of IP addresses based on the first octet's value and provides a C program to determine the class of a given IP address. The program extracts the octets from the input string and categorizes the IP address accordingly.

An IPv4 has 4 octets having decimal value between 0 to 255 and depending on

the first octet’s value, IP Addresses divided into 5 classes.


The IP addresses are universally unique. The address space of IPv4 is 232 or
4,294,967,296.
IP address is written as a Binary (hexadecimal) or a Dotted Decimal (w/out
leading zeros)

Class A 1 to 126
Class B 128 to 191
Class C 192 to 223
Class D 224 to 239
