IP and MAC addressing
IP
used to route packets
Works on a WAN
IPv4
4 bytes in size (32 bits)
Each byte is separated by full stops
Example: 193.74.211.63
4 billion possible IPs
2 parts of an IPv4
107.56.94.111
107.56.94
Network Identifier (first 3 bytes)
.111
Host Identifier (4th byte)
Reason why the IPv4 has ran out of space
Internet of Things
Any device that has a NIC, it can connect to the internet resulting in more IPs being used
Uses binary
IPv6
Approximately 340 trillion-trillion-trillion combinations
Example: 49cd:c92d:dabb:469f:003c:4877:f44b:5441
16 bytes (128 bits)
Uses Hex over digits
Each group is separated by a :
MAC - Media Access Control
Not used on WANs
Used to route frames on a LAN
