  2. IPv4 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPv4

    For example, the loopback address 127.0.0.1 was commonly written as 127.1, given that it belongs to a class-A network with eight bits for the network mask and 24 bits for the host number. When fewer than four numbers were specified in the address in dotted notation, the last value was treated as an integer of as many bytes as are required to ...

  3. IPv4 address exhaustion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IPv4_address_exhaustion

    IPv4 address exhaustion timeline. IPv4 address exhaustion is the depletion of the pool of unallocated IPv4 addresses. Because the original Internet architecture had fewer than 4.3 billion addresses available, depletion has been anticipated since the late 1980s when the Internet started experiencing dramatic growth.

  4. IP address - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IP_address

    An IPv4 address has a size of 32 bits, which limits the address space to 4 294 967 296 (2 32) addresses. Of this number, some addresses are reserved for special purposes such as private networks (≈18 million addresses) and multicast addressing (≈270 million addresses). IPv4 addresses are usually represented in dot-decimal notation ...

  6. Classless Inter-Domain Routing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Classless_Inter-Domain_Routing

    The number of addresses of a network may be calculated as 2 address length − prefix length, where address length is 128 for IPv6 and 32 for IPv4. For example, in IPv4, the prefix length / 29 gives: 2 32−29 = 2 3 = 8 addresses.

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

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

    The original list of IPv4 address blocks was published in September 1981. [3] In previous versions of the document, [19] [20] network numbers were 8-bit numbers rather than the 32-bit numbers used in IPv4. At that time, three networks were added that were not listed earlier: 42.rrr.rrr.rrr, 43.rrr.rrr.rrr, and 44.rrr.rrr.rrr.

  8. List of countries by IPv4 address allocation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_IPv4...

    This is a list of countries by IPv4 address allocation. The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) distributes large blocks of addresses to regional Internet registries (RIRs), which then assign them to national Internet registries and local Internet registries within their respective service regions.

  9. Address pool - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Address_pool

    At the top level, the IP address pool is managed by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA). The total IPv4 address pool contains 4 294 967 296 (2 32 ) addresses, while the size of the IPv6 address pool is 2 128 ( 340 282 366 920 938 463 463 374 607 431 768 211 456 ) addresses.
