An Internet Protocol address (IP address) is a numerical label such as 192.0.2.1 that is assigned to a device connected to a computer network that uses the Internet Protocol for communication. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] IP addresses serve two main functions: network interface identification , and location addressing .

[6] [7] If a host on an IEEE 802 network cannot obtain a network address via DHCP, an address from 169.254.1.0 to 169.254.254.255 [Note 2] may be assigned pseudorandomly. The standard prescribes that address collisions must be handled gracefully.
Quake family tree, showing engines and a selection of games based on the Quake engine. id Tech is a series of separate game engines designed and developed by id Software.Prior to the presentation of the id Tech 5-based game Rage in 2011, the engines lacked official designation and as such were simply referred to as the Doom and Quake engines, from the name of the main game series the engines ...
[8]: sec. 2.2 This may happen if a host is configured manually with an IP address that lies within the DHCP scope. Before claiming an IP address, the client should probe the newly received address (e.g. with ARP ), in order to find if there is another host present in the network with the proposed IP address.
In the above example, the subnet mask consists of 26 bits, making it 255.255.255.192, leaving 6 bits for the host identifier. This allows for 62 host combinations (2 6 −2). In general, the number of available hosts on a subnet is 2 h −2, where h is the number of bits used for the host portion of the address.
Zone 5 uses eight 2-digit codes (51–58) and two sets of 3-digit codes (50x, 59x) to serve South and Central America. Zone 6 uses seven 2-digit codes (60–66) and three sets of 3-digit codes (67x–69x) to serve Southeast Asia and Oceania. Zone 7 uses an integrated numbering plan; two digits (7x) determine the area served: Russia or Kazakhstan.
ping is a computer network administration software utility used to test the reachability of a host on an Internet Protocol (IP) network. It is available for virtually all operating systems that have networking capability, including most embedded network administration software.
