Study Notes

Network Part of an IP Address

Identifies the specific network within a larger routing structure.
Ensures data packets are sent to the correct destination network.

Limited Broadcast in IP Addressing

Allows a message to be sent to all hosts on the local network segment.
Uses the broadcast address 255.255.255.255 for this purpose.
Facilitates communication when the specific IP addresses of hosts are unknown.

Division of Network and Host Parts in IP Addressing

Historically, the separation used subnet masks and classes (A, B, C).
Classful addressing defined fixed boundaries between network and host portions.

Class B IP Addressing

Supports a total of 16,384 available networks.
Each Class B network can contain up to 65,534 hosts, promoting scalability.

Loopback Interface in IP Addressing

Designated IP address 127.0.0.1 is used for testing and diagnostics.
Allows a host to communicate with itself, enabling software and protocols to be tested without requiring a physical network connection.
