Note This section assumes basic knowledge of binary numbers, bits, and bytes. For details on this subject, see Appendix A. IP addresses, the Internet's version of telephone numbers, are used to identify individual nodes (computers or devices) on the Internet. Every IP address contains four numbers, each from 0 to 255 and separated by dots (periods), e. g. These numbers are called, from left to right, field1, field2, field3, and field4. This style of writing IP addresses as decimal numbers separated by dots is called dotted decimal notation. The IP address 20. 56. 0. 211 is read "twenty dot fifty-six dot zero dot two-eleven. " A. 1. 1 Structure of an IP address IP addresses have a hierarchical design similar to that of telephone numbers. For example, a 7-digit telephone number starts with a 3-digit prefix that identifies a group of thousands of telephone lines, and ends with four digits that identify one specific line in that group. Similarly, IP addresses contain two kinds of information. Network ID Identifies a particular network within the Internet or intranet Host ID Identifies a particular computer or device on the network The first part of every IP address contains the network ID, and the rest of the address contains the host ID. The length of the network ID depends on the network's class (see following section). Table A. 1 shows the structure of an IP address. IP Address structure Field1 Class A Class B Class C Network ID Network ID Network ID Field2 Field3 Host ID Host ID Field4 Host ID Here are some examples of valid IP addresses: Class A: 10. 30. 6. 125 (network = 10, host = 30. 6. 125) Class B: 129. 88. 16. 49 (network = 129. 88, host = 16. 49) Class C: 192. 60. 201. 11 (network = 192. 60. 201, host = 11) A. 1. 2 Network classes The three commonly used network classes are A, B, and C. (There is also a class D but it has a special use beyond the scope of this discussion. ) These classes have different uses and characteristics. Class A networks are the Internet's largest networks, each with room for over 16 million hosts. Up to 126 of these huge networks can exist, for a total of over 2 billion hosts. Because of their huge size, these networks are used for WANs and by organizations at the infrastructure level of the Internet, such as your ISP. 54 AAM6000EV-M ADSL Combo Router User's Manual Class B networks are smaller but still quite large, each able to hold over 65, 000 hosts. There can be up to 16, 384 class B networks in existence. A class B network might be appropriate for a large organization such as a business or government agency. Class C networks are the smallest, only able to hold 254 hosts at most, but the total possible number of class C networks exceeds 2 million (2, 097, 152 to be exact). [. . . ] Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol The basic protocols used on the Internet. TCP is responsible for dividing data up into packets for delivery and reassembling them at the destination, while IP is responsible for delivering the packets from source to destination. When TCP and IP are bundled with higher-level applications such as HTTP, FTP, Telnet, etc. , TCP/IP refers to this whole suite of protocols. An interactive, character-based program used to access a remote computer. [. . . ]
