 Network and Host Addressing
Using the IP address of the
destination network, a router
can deliver a packet to the
correct network.

When the packet arrives at a

router connected to the
destination network, the router
uses the IP address to locate
the particular computer
connected to that network.
Accordingly, every IP address
has two parts.

DIT
 Network Layer Communication Path
A router forwards packets from the originating
network to the destination network using the IP
protocol. The packets must include an identifier for
both the source and destination networks.

DIT
 Internet Addresses
IP Addressing is a hierarchical structure. An IP address
combines two identifiers into one number. This number must be
a unique number, because duplicate addresses would make
routing impossible. The first part identifies the system's network
address. The second part, called the host part, identifies which
particular machine it is on the network.

DIT
 IP Address Classes
IP addresses are divided into classes to define the large,
medium, and small networks.
Class A addresses are assigned to larger networks.
Class B addresses are used for medium-sized networks.
Class C for small networks.

Address Number of Number of Hosts

Class Networks per Network
A 126 16,777,214
B 16,384 65,534
C 2,097,152 254

DIT
Identifying Address Classes

DIT
 Network and Host Division
Each complete 32-bit IP address is broken down into a
network part and a host part. A bit or bit sequence at the
start of each address determines the class of the address.
There are 5 IP address classes.

DIT
 Class A Addresses
The Class A address was designed to support extremely
large networks, with more than 16 million host addresses
available. Class A IP addresses use only the first octet to
indicate the network address. The remaining three octets
provide for host addresses.

DIT
 Class B Addresses
The Class B address was designed to support the needs
of moderate to large-sized networks. A Class B IP
address uses the first two of the four octets to indicate the
network address. The other two octets specify host
addresses.

DIT
 Class C Addresses
The Class C address space is the most commonly
used of the original address classes. This address
space was intended to support small networks with a
maximum of 254 hosts.

DIT
 Class D Addresses
The Class D address class was created to enable
multicasting in an IP address. A multicast address is a
unique network address that directs packets with that
destination address to predefined groups of IP addresses.
Therefore, a single station can simultaneously transmit a
single stream of data to multiple recipients.

DIT
 Class E Addresses
A Class E address has been defined. However, the
Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) reserves
these addresses for its own research. Therefore, no
Class E addresses have been released for use in the
Internet.

DIT
 Converting Between Decimal Numbers
and Binary
 In any given octet of an IP address, the 8 bits can be defined as
follows:
27 26 25 24 23 22 21 20

128 64 32 16 8 4 2 1

 To convert a decimal number into binary

187 = 10111011 = 128+32+16+8+2+1, 224 = 11100000 = 128+64+32
 To convert a binary number into decimal

10101010 = 128+32+8+2 = 170, 11110000 = 128+64+32+16 = 240

 The IP address 138.101.114.250 is represented in binary as

10001010.01100101.01110010.11111010
 The subnet mask of 255.255.255.192 is represented in binary as

11111111.11111111.11111111.11000000

DIT
 IP Address Ranges
The graphic below shows the IP address range of the
first octet both in decimal and binary for each IP
address class.

DIT
 Finding the Network Address with ANDing
By ANDing the Host address of 192.168.10.2 with 255.255.255.0
(its network mask) we obtain the network address of 192.168.10.0

DIT
Network Address

DIT
 Public IP Addresses
Unique addresses are required for each device on a network. 

Originally, an organization known as the Internet Network

Information Center (InterNIC) handled this procedure.

InterNIC no longer exists and has been succeeded by the

Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA).

No two machines that connect to a public network can have the

same IP address because public IP addresses are global and
standardized.

All machines connected to the Internet agree to conform to the

system.

Public IP addresses must be obtained from an Internet service

provider (ISP) or a registry at some expense.
DIT
 Private IP Addresses
Private IP addresses are another solution to the problem of
the impending exhaustion of public IP addresses. As
mentioned, public networks require hosts to have unique IP
addresses.

However, private networks that are not connected to the

Internet may use any host addresses, as long as each host
within the private network is unique.

DIT
 Introduction to Subnetting
Subnetting a network means to use the subnet mask to
divide the network and break a large network up into
smaller, more efficient and manageable segments, or
subnets.

With subnetting, the network is not limited to the default,

Class A, B, or C network masks and there is more
flexibility in the network design.

Subnet addresses include the network portion, plus a

subnet field and a host field. The ability to decide how to
divide the original host portion into the new subnet and
host fields provides addressing flexibility for the network
administrator.
