IP Adressing

The document provides an overview of IP addressing, including definitions, IPv4 and IPv6 standards, and the structure of IP addresses. It explains the importance of unique addresses, the division of IPv4 into classes, and the differences between IPv4 and IPv6. Key concepts such as network and host IDs, subnetting, and binary notation are also discussed.

What is an IP Address (definition)

An IP address is a unique address


that identifies a device on the internet
or a local network.
(Kaspersky.com, 2021)
Things to Remember About IP Addresses

• Every Address must be Unique


(Analogy: Think of your ip address as your
postcode and house number combination)
• There are 2 standards IPv4 (our focus) & IPv6
• IPv4 can be divided into classes (almost
obsolete)
• IPv4 can use CIDR (Classless Inter Domain
Routing), will be discussed later
IPv4

• It is a 32 bit address
• It is split in 4 octets
• It has a subnet mask
• It is divided in a network ID and Host
ID
Network & Host ID

•Network ID: Identifies the


Network a Host is on
•Host ID identifies 1 Specific Host
IP Address & Octets

• Example Host Address: 192.168.1.15


• Every group can be converted into 8 bits
(1’s and 0’s)
(That’s why they call it octets)
• The same applies to the subnet mask,
for example
255.255.255.0
Example Binary Notation

• IP Address: 192.168.1.1:

11000000.10101000.00000001.00000001

• Subnet Mask: 255.255.255.0

11111111.11111111.11111111.00000000
IP Address Classes (Obsolete)

IPv4 can be divided into 4 classes


• Class A: Large networks
• Class B: Medium Networks
• Class C: Small Networks
• Class D: Multicast Networks
IP Address Classes (overview)
Class 1st Octet Default Subnet Number of Hosts per
Decimal Range Mask Networks Network
(Usable
Addresses)

A 1 – 126 255.0.0.0 126 (27 – 2) 16,777,214


(224 – 2)

B 128 – 191 255.255.0.0 16,382 (214 – 2) 65,534 (216 – 2)


C 192 – 223 255.255.255.0 2,097,150 (221 – 254 (28 – 2)
2)

D 224 – 239 Reserved for Multicasting


E 240 – 254 Experimental; used for research
IPv6

• IPv6 addresses are 128-bit IP addresses written in


hexadecimal and separated by colons.

• For example: - 2001:db8:0:1234:0:567:8:1 (IPv6).


Why IPv6

• IPv4 is running out of space:


Max number of addresses: 2^32 = 4,294,967,296

• IPv6 max number of addresses: 2^128


340,282,366,920,938,463,463,374,607,431,768,21
1,456
Other Differences Between IPv4 and IPv6

• IPv4 Relies on DHCP, IPv6 does not


• IPv4 has Variable Length Subnet Masks,
IPv6 has not
• IPv4 uses address mask to designate
network from host portion, IPv6 does not.
• And there are many more
