Chapter 5. IPv4 and IPv6 Addresses
IP addressing
IPv4
IPv4 Address Structure
consists of 32 bits
divided into four separate numbers, separated
by periods.
each number represents an 8-bit portion of the 32 bits in the address
these divisions are called
octets
IPv6 has a whopping 128 bits
Binary numbering
an IP address is composed of two types of addresses: a network address and a host address.
what is the subnet mask?
The IP address component that
determines which bits refer to the network and which bits refer to the host i

Types of Addresses
following three categories of IPv4 addresses
unicast
meaning that traffic travels from a single
source device to a single destination device.
broadcast
Broadcast traffic travels from a single source to all destinations on a network
A broadcast address of 255.255.255.255 might seem that it
would reach all hosts on all interconnected networks
multicast.
Subnetting
Number of assignable IP addresses in a subnet = 2h – 2,
where h is the number of host bits in a subnet mask
