  2. IP address - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IP_address

    IP addresses are assigned to a host either dynamically as they join the network, or persistently by configuration of the host hardware or software. Persistent configuration is also known as using a static IP address. In contrast, when a computer's IP address is assigned each time it restarts, this is known as using a dynamic IP address.

  3. Classful network - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classful_network

    The method divides the IP address space for Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) into five address classes based on the leading four address bits. Classes A, B, and C provide unicast addresses for networks of three different network sizes. Class D is for multicast networking and the class E address range is reserved for future or experimental ...

    For example, the sample diagram does not indicate the physical type of connection between the PCs and the switch, but since a modern LAN is depicted, Ethernet may be assumed. If the same style of line was used in a WAN (wide area network) diagram, however, it may indicate a different type of connection.

  5. List of assigned /8 IPv4 address blocks - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../8_IPv4_address_blocks

    Some large / 8 blocks of IPv4 addresses, the former Class A network blocks, are assigned in whole to single organizations or related groups of organizations, either by the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN), through the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA), or a regional Internet registry.

  6. Network address - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_address

    Network diagram with IP network addresses indicated e.g. 192.168.100.3.. A network address is an identifier for a node or host on a telecommunications network.Network addresses are designed to be unique identifiers across the network, although some networks allow for local, private addresses, or locally administered addresses that may not be unique.

  7. Classless Inter-Domain Routing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classless_Inter-Domain_Routing

    Each 1-bit denotes a bit of the address range which must remain identical to the given IP address. The IP address in CIDR notation is always represented according to the standards for IPv4 or IPv6. The address may denote a specific interface address (including a host identifier, such as 10.0.0.1 / 8), or it may be the beginning address of an ...

  8. IPv4 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPv4

    The Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) performs this IP-address-to-hardware-address translation for IPv4. In addition, the reverse correlation is often necessary. For example, unless an address is preconfigured by an administrator, when an IP host is booted or connected to a network it needs to determine its IP address.

  9. Reserved IP addresses - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reserved_IP_addresses

    Shared address space [4] for communications between a service provider and its subscribers when using a carrier-grade NAT 127.0.0.0/8 127.0.0.0–127.255.255.255
