Study Notes
IPv4 Addressing
- IPv4 addresses are 32 bits long, divided into four octets (8-bit groups).
- Each octet is represented in decimal format from 0 to 255.
- IPv4 addresses are categorized into classes (A, B, C, D, E) based on their numerical range.
- Class A ranges from 0.0.0.0 to 126.255.255.255.
- Class B ranges from 128.0.0.0 to 191.255.255.255.
- Class C ranges from 192.0.0.0 to 223.255.255.255.
- Class D ranges from 224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255.
- Class E ranges from 240.0.0.0 to 254.255.255.255.
- The network and host portions of an IPv4 address are defined by the class. The class determines how many bits are dedicated to the network and how many are dedicated to the host.
- 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
- Addresses within specific ranges (10.0.0.0 to 10.255.255.255, 172.16.0.0 to 172.31.255.255, 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.255) are reserved for private use within internal networks (Intranets).
- Private addresses are not routable on the public Internet.
- Internet Service Providers (ISPs) typically block private IP addresses.
ARIN (American Registry for Internet Numbers)
- ARIN is responsible for assigning IP address space to Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and end-users.
- End-users must meet specific criteria to receive IP address blocks from ARIN (must be large).
- Typically, smaller users obtain IP addresses from an ISP.
- ISPs receive IP addresses blocks from ARIN, and then assign IP addresses to their customers.
