IPv4Addresses
INTRODUCTION
The identifier used in the IP layer of the
TCP/IP protocol suite to identify each
device connected to the Internet is called
the Internet address or IP address. An
IPv4 address is a 32-bit address that
uniquely and universally defines the
connection of a host or a router to the
Internet; an IP address is the address of
the interface.
TCP/IP Protocol Suite
Note
An IPv4 address is 32 bits long.
Note
The IPv4 addresses are unique

and universal.
Note
The address space of IPv4 is

232 or 4,294,967,296.
Note
Numbers in base 2, 16, and 256 are

discussed in Appendix B.

Dotted-decimal notation
Change the following IPv4 addresses from binary

notation to dotted-decimal notation.
a. 10000001 00001011 00001011 11101111
b. 11000001 10000011 00011011 11111111

d. 11111001 10011011 11111011 00001111
Solution
We replace each group of 8 bits with its
equivalent decimal number and add dots for
separation:
a. 129.11.11.239

b. 221.34.7.82
c. 241.8.56.12
d. 75.45.34.78
Solution
We replace each decimal number
equivalent:
a. 01101111 00111000 00101101
b. 11011101 00100010 00000111
c. 11110001 00001000 00111000

addresses:
a. 111.56.045.78
b. 221.34.7.8.20
c. 75.45.301.14
d. 11100010.23.14.67
Solution
a. There should be no leading zeroes (045).
b. We may not have more than 4 bytes in an IPv4
address.
c. Each byte should be less than or equal to 255.
d.A mixture of binary notation and dotteddecimal notation.
Change the following IPv4 addresses from binary

notation to hexadecimal notation.
a. 10000001 00001011 00001011 11101111
b. 11000001 10000011 00011011 11111111
Solution
We
replace
each
group
of
bits
with
its
hexadecimal equivalent. Note that 0X (or 0x) is

added at the beginning or the subscript 16 at the
end.
a. 0X810B0BEF or 810B0BEF16
b. 0XC1831BFF or C1831BFF16
CLASSFULADDRESSING
IP addresses, when started a few
decades ago, used the concept of
classes. This architecture is called
classful addressing. In the mid-1990s, a
new
architecture,
called
classless
addressing,
was
introduced
that
supersedes the original architecture. In
this section, we introduce classful
addressing because it paves the way for
understanding classless addressing and
justifies the rationale for moving to the
new
Classless addressing

Finding the class of address

Find the class of each address:

a. 00000001 00001011 00001011 11101111
b. 11000001 10000011 00011011 11111111
c. 10100111 11011011 10001011 01101111
d. 11110011 10011011 11111011 00001111
Solution
a. The first bit is 0. This is a class A address.
b. The first 2 bits are 1; the third bit is 0. This is a
class C address.
c. The first bit is 1; the second bit is 0. This is a
class B address.
d. The first 4 bits are 1s. This is a class E
address.

Find the class of each address:

a. 227.12.14.87
b. 193.14.56.22
c. 14.23.120.8
d. 252.5.15.111
Solution
a. The first byte is 227 (between 224 and 239); the class is D.
b. The first byte is 193 (between 192 and 223); the class is C.
c. The first byte is 14 (between 0 and 127); the class is A.
d. The first byte is 252 (between 240 and 255); the class is E.

An address in a block is given as 73.22.17.25.

Find the class, the number of addresses in the
block, the first address, and the last address.
Solution
1. The number of addresses in this block is N =
232n =
16,777,216.
2. To find the first address, we keep the leftmost
8 bits and set the rightmost 24 bits all to 0s. The
first address is 73.0.0.0/8, in which 8 is the value
of n.
3. To find the last address, we keep the leftmost 8
bits and set the rightmost 24 bits all to 1s. The
last address is 73.255.255.255.

An address in a block is given as 180.8.17.9. Find

the class, the number of addresses in the block,
the first address, and the last address.
Solution
232n = 65,536.
16 bits and set the rightmost 16 bits all to 0s.
The first address is 180.8.0.0/16, in which 16 is
the value of n.
3. To find the last address, we keep the leftmost
The

An address in a block is given as 200.11.8.45.

Find the class, the number of addresses in the
block, the first address, and the last address.
Solution
232n = 256.
The
first
address
is
200.11.8.0/16, in which 24 is the value of n.
3. To find the last address, we keep the leftmost
The

A router receives a packet with the destination

address 201.24.67.32. Show how the router finds
the network address of the packet.
Solution
Since the class of the address is B, we assume
that the router applies the default mask for class
B, 255.255.0.0 to find the network address.
