Study Notes
IP Addressing
- An IP address is a 32-bit identifier for a host or router, typically assigned to a specific interface.
- An interface is the connection between a host or router and a physical link.
- Routers typically have multiple interfaces, while hosts usually have one or two interfaces.
Hierarchical Addressing
- Organizations can be assigned a block of IP addresses.
- If an organization switches to a new ISP, they may need to move their IP address block to the new ISP.
- Routers use longest prefix matching to determine the most specific route for a destination IP address.
- ISPs-R-Us has two routes in their table: 200.23.16.0/20 and 200.23.18.0/23.
- When a router receives a packet for 200.23.18.0/23, it will use the more specific route provided by ISPs-R-Us instead of the less specific route from Fly-by-Night-ISP.
IP Address Allocation
- IP addresses are allocated geographically, meaning a block of IP addresses often represents a specific location.
- The geographical location of an IP address can be determined using online tools.
- The organization responsible for allocating IP addresses is ICANN (Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers).
Regional Internet Registries (RIRs)
- RIRs are intermediaries that allocate IP address blocks to ISPs and organizations.
- Examples of RIRs include:
- RIPE NCC (Europe, Middle East, Africa)
- APNIC (Asia and Pacific)
- ARIN (Americas, Caribbean, sub-Saharan Africa)
- LACNIC (Latin America and Caribbean)
NAT (Network Address Translation)
- NAT allows multiple hosts behind a firewall to share a single public IP address.
- NAT traversal problems arise when clients behind NAT cannot connect to servers with private IP addresses.
- Different solutions exist to address NAT traversal challenges, including:
- Static NAT: Manually configuring a specific port mapping to a private IP address.
- UPnP (Universal Plug and Play): Automatically configuring port mappings.
- Relaying: Using a relay server to bridge communication between a NATed client and a server.
ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol)
- ICMP is used by hosts and routers to communicate network-level information.
- Some common ICMP message types include:
- Type 0, Code 0: Echo reply (ping)
- Type 3, Code 0: Destination unreachable
