Study Notes

  • IPv4 addresses are divided into classes, each with a specific address range.

IPv4 Class Ranges:

  • Class A: 1.0.0.0 to 126.0.0.0 (1.0.0.0/8 to 126.0.0.0/8)
  • Class B: 128.0.0.0 to 191.255.0.0 (128.0.0.0/16 to 191.255.0.0/16)
  • Class C: 192.0.0.0 to 223.255.255.0 (192.0.0.0/24 to 223.255.255.0/24)
  • Class D: 224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255
  • Class E: 240.0.0.0 to 255.255.255.255

Network and Host Support by Class:

  • Class A supports 128 networks, each with approximately 16 million hosts.
  • Class B supports 16,384 networks, each with 65,534 hosts.
  • Class C supports over 2 million networks, each with up to 254 hosts.
  • Class D is reserved for multicast addresses and isn't used for standard host addresses.
  • Class E is reserved for experimental purposes and not for general use.

Common Uses by IPv4 Class:

  • Class A is for large organizations needing many IP addresses.
  • Class B is for medium-sized networks like universities.
  • Class C is for small businesses and local area networks (LANs).
  • Class D is for multicast groups.
  • Class E is for experimental purposes.

Typical Usage Examples:

  • Class A is used by major global enterprises and internet service providers.
  • Class B is used by educational institutions and large corporations.
  • Class C is used by small companies and office networks.
  • Class D is used by streaming services and multi-user games.
  • Class E is used for network protocol testing and future experimentation.

Additional Information Regarding The IPv4 Classes

  • Class A's highest order bit is 01.
  • Class B's highest order bit is 10.
  • Class C's highest order bit is 110.
  • Class D's highest order bit is 1110.
  • Class E's highest order bit is 1111.

IP Addresses Reserved For Special Cases

  • 0.0.0.0/8 corresponds with RFC 6890
  • 127.0.0.0/8 corresponds with RFC 6890
  • 169.254.0.0/16 corresponds with RFC 5735
