  2. Private network - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Private_network

    In Internet networking, a private network is a computer network that uses a private address space of IP addresses. These addresses are commonly used for local area networks (LANs) in residential, office, and enterprise environments. Both the IPv4 and the IPv6 specifications define private IP address ranges. [1] [2]

  3. Private IP - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Private_IP

    Whereas the Internet is a public offering, MPLS PIP networks are private. This lends a known, often used, and comfortable network design model for private implementation. Private IP removes the need for antiquated Frame Relay networks, and even more antiquated point-to-point networks, with the service provider able to offer a private extranet ...

  4. IP address - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IP_address

    A public IP address is a globally routable unicast IP address, meaning that the address is not an address reserved for use in private networks, such as those reserved by RFC 1918, or the various IPv6 address formats of local scope or site-local scope, for example for link-local addressing. Public IP addresses may be used for communication ...

  5. Reserved IP addresses - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reserved_IP_addresses

    Used for link-local addresses [5] between two hosts on a single link when no IP address is otherwise specified, such as would have normally been retrieved from a DHCP server 172.16.0.0/12 172.16.0.0–172.31.255.255

  6. Network address translation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_address_translation

    The IP address of a public server is also important, similar in global uniqueness to a postal address or telephone number. Both IP address and port number must be correctly known by all hosts wishing to successfully communicate. Private IP addresses as described in RFC 1918 are usable only on private networks not directly connected to the internet.

  7. IPv4 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPv4

    Since two private networks, e.g., two branch offices, cannot directly interoperate via the public Internet, the two networks must be bridged across the Internet via a virtual private network (VPN) or an IP tunnel, which encapsulates packets, including their headers containing the private addresses, in a protocol layer during transmission across ...

  8. Link-local address - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Link-local_address

    Link-local addresses may be assigned manually by an administrator or by automatic operating system procedures. In Internet Protocol (IP) networks, they are assigned most often using stateless address autoconfiguration, a process that often uses a stochastic process to select the value of link-local addresses, assigning a pseudo-random address that is different for each session.

  9. Internet privacy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_privacy

    The architecture of the Internet Protocol necessitates that a website receives IP addresses of its visitors, which can be tracked through time. Companies match data over time to associate the name, address, and other information to the IP address. [16] There are opposing views in different jurisdiction on whether an IP address is personal ...
