What is an IP address ? Every machine on the Internet
has a unique identifying number, called an IP Address. A typical IP
address looks like this: 195.24.53.107
The four numbers in an IP address are used in different ways to identify a
particular network and a host on that network. Those numbers are called
octets, because they each have eight positions when viewed in binary form.
The octets serve a purpose other than simply separating the numbers. They are
used to create classes of IP addresses.
- Class A - This class is for very large networks, such as a major
international company might have. IP addresses with a first octet from 1 to
126 are part of this class.
- Class B - Class B is used for medium-sized networks. A good
example is a large college campus. IP addresses with a first octet from 128
to 191 are part of this class.
- Class C - Class C addresses are commonly used for small to
mid-size businesses. IP addresses with a first octet from 192 to 223 are part
of this class.
- Class D - Used for multicasts (where a node sends a packet
addressed to a special group address.). For multicasts, the first octet has a
value of 224.
- Class E with the first octet of 225 is used for experimental
purposes only.
Loopback - The IP address 127.0.0.1 is used as the loopback
address. This means that it is used by the host computer to send a message back
to itself. It is commonly used for troubleshooting and network testing.
Broadcast - Messages that are intended for all computers on a network
are sent as broadcasts. These messages always use the IP address
255.255.255.255. |
