Study Notes
IPv4 Addressing
- IPv4 addresses are 32 bits long
- Addresses are structured into four octets (each octet is 8 bits) which are represented in decimal form
- Example: 10.10.20.1
- The decimal values range from 0 to 255 in each octet
- Classes of IPv4 addresses exist (A, B, C, D, E) each having differing address ranges.
- A: 0.0.0.0 to 126.255.255.255
- B: 128.0.0.0 to 191.255.255.255
- C: 192.0.0.0 to 223.255.255.255
- D: 224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255
- E: 240.0.0.0 to 254.255.255.255
Network and Host Portions
- Each IPv4 address is divided into network and host portions.
- The number of bits assigned to the network and host portion depends on the class of address.
- Class A: 8 bits for network, 24 bits for host
- Class B: 16 bits for network, 16 bits for host
- Class C: 24 bits for network, 8 bits for host
Private IP Addresses
- Specific IP address ranges are designated as private addresses and not routable on the internet
- Class A: 10.0.0.0 to 10.255.255.255
- Class B: 172.16.0.0 to 172.31.255.255
- Class C: 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.255
- These private addresses are used for internal networks (intranets) not for internet traffic.
ARIN
- ARIN (American Registry for Internet Numbers) assigns IP address space to Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and end-users.
- ISPs/end-users must meet specific qualification criteria to receive IP addresses from ARIN, usually being of a substantial size.
- Larger organizations, such as universities, often receive a block of IPs from ARIN, while smaller users usually receive addresses from an ISP, which might dynamically assign addresses.
