Explain the structure of an IPv4 address and how it is expressed in decimal and binary forms.
An IPv4 address is expressed by four numbers separated by dots, and each number represents the decimal (base-10) representation for an eight-digit binary (base-2) number, also called an octet.
How many binary bits does IPv4 use to create a single unique address on the network?
IPv4 uses 32 binary bits to create a single unique address on the network.
Provide an example of an IPv4 address and explain its format.
An example of an IPv4 address is 216.27.61.137. Each number in the address represents the decimal (base-10) representation for an eight-digit binary (base-2) number, also called an octet.
