IP ADDRESSING PROTOCOL

• An Internet Protocol (IP) address is a unique numerical


identifier for every device or network that connects to the
internet.
• Typically assigned by an internet service provider (ISP), an IP
address is an online device address used for communicating
across the internet.
• There are two versions of IP addresses that are commonly
used on the internet: IPv4 and IPv6.
• An IPv4 address is expressed as a set of
four dotted decimal numbers, where each octet is separated
by a period, such as 192.168.35.4.
• The three digits in the first octet represent a particular
network on the internet while the rest of the digits represent
the actual host address within the local network
CLASS OF IP ADDRESS

• The 32-bit IP address is divided into five sub-classes. These are


given below:
• Class A
• Class B
• Class C
• Class D
• Class E
• Each of these classes has a valid range of IP addresses. Classes D
and E are reserved for multicast and experimental purposes
respectively.
• The class of IP address is used to determine the bits used for
network ID and host ID and the number of total networks and
hosts possible in that particular class. Each ISP or network
administrator assigns an IP address to each device that is
connected to its network.
• Class A
• IP addresses belonging to class A are assigned to
the networks that contain a large number of
hosts.
• The network ID is 8 bits long.
• The host ID is 24 bits long.
• IP addresses belonging to class A ranges from
0.0.0.0 – 127.255.255.255.
CLASS B

• IP address belonging to class B is assigned to


networks that range from medium-sized to large-
sized networks.
• The network ID is 16 bits long.
• The host ID is 16 bits long.
• IP addresses belonging to class B ranges from
128.0.0.0 – 191.255.255.255.
CLASS C

• IP addresses belonging to class C are assigned to


small-sized networks.
• The network ID is 24 bits long.
• The host ID is 8 bits long.
• IP addresses belonging to class C range from
192.0.0.0 – 223.255.255.255.
CLASS D

• IP address belonging to class D is reserved for


multi-casting.
• Class D does not possess any subnet mask. IP
addresses belonging to class D range from
224.0.0.0 – 239.255.255.255.
• IP addresses belonging to class E are reserved for
experimental and research purposes.
• IP addresses of class E range from 240.0.0.0 –
255.255.255.255
PRIVATE IP ADDRESS

• Private IP Addresses are those addresses that work


within the local network.
• These addresses are non-routable on the Internet.
• The address is basically assigned by the network
router to your particular device.
• The unique private IP address is provided to every
device which is on the same network.
• In this way, devices communicate with one another on
the same network without connecting to the entire
Internet.
• In this way, Private IP addresses are able to provide
more security within a particular network.
PUBLIC IP ADDRESS

• a Public IP address is defined as a unique numerical


value that is assigned to the particular device
connected in the network that makes use of internet
protocol for communication and transmission.
• This basically offers a globally recognizable address
that enables user’s devices to actually transmit and
receive the data or packets across a wide range of
networks, which is called Internet Public IP
addresses are actually routable on the Internet
which means that they can be accessed and
communicated through any device, from any part or
from any region of the world.
SUBNET MASK

• A subnet mask is a 32-bit number created by


setting the host bits to all 0s and setting network
bits to all 1s.
• In this way, the subnet mask is separated the IP
address into the host address and network
address.
• The broadcast address is always assigned to
the "255" address, and a network address is
always assigned to the "0" address.
• Since the subnet mask is reserved for a special
purpose, it cannot be assigned to the host.
