The document explains the concept of IP addresses, which are numerical identifiers assigned to devices on networks using the internet protocol. It differentiates between IPv4 and IPv6, outlines the structure of IP addresses, and classifies them into five classes (A, B, C, D, E) with specific ranges and usage contexts. Additionally, it describes the distinction between public and private IP addresses, including their routing capabilities.

2. IP Address
IP Address is a numerical number assigned to each and every device which is
looped in a computer network that uses the Internet Protocol for communication.
We are having two versions in ip address.
They are:
• Ip version 4 (IPV4)
• Ip version 6 (IPV6)
Ip version 4 is represented by (length) 32 bit addressing.it contains only zeros and
ones (0's & 1's). Ip version 6 is represented by 128 bits addressing.it contains only
numbers and letters.

3. Basic IP Adderssing
 Machines read the IP address as a stream of 32 bits.
 However, for human consumption, the IP address is written in dotted
decimal notation.
The 32-bit address is divided into 4
groups of 8 bits (an octet or a byte).
Each octet is written as a decimal
number ranging from 0 to 255.
The decimal numbers are separated by
periods, or dots.

4. IP Address Stricture
The network prefix identifies a network and the host number identifies a
specific host (actually, interface on the network).

5. Address Space
Address space is the amount of memory allocated for all possible addresses for a
computational entity, such as a device, a file, a server, or a networked computer. Address
space may refer to a range of either physical or virtual addresses accessible to a processor
or reserved for a process. As unique identifiers of single entities, each address specifies an
entity's location.
On a computer, each computer device and process is allocated address space, which is
some portion of the processor's address space. A processor's address space is always limited
by the width of its address bus and registers. Address space may be differentiated as
either flat, in which addresses are expressed as incrementally increasing integers starting at
zero, orsegmented, in which addresses are expressed as separate segments augmented
by offsets

6. IN IP ADDRESSES WE HAVE 5 CLASSE THEY ARE :
Class A
Class B
Class C
Class D
Class E
In these classes class A, B, C are using for local area networks and wide area networks.
& remaining class D for multicasting networks and class E for Research and
development. These class are defined in ranges as follows :
Class A : 0.0.0.0 to 127.255.255.255
Class B : 128.0.0.0 to 191.255.255.255
Class C : 192.0.0.0 to 223.0.0.0
Class D : 224.0.0.0 to 239.0.0.0
Class E : 240.0.0.0 to 255.255.255.255
Class A Class B Class C Class D Class E

7. Types OF IP Addresses
 Public Address
 Private Address
Public Addresses:
Public addresses are registered as belonging to a specific organization. Public IP
addresses are routed across the Internet, so that hosts with public addresses may
freely communicate with one another globally.
Private Addresses:
Private addresses may be used by any organization, without any requirement for
registration. – private addresses are not permitted to be routed across the Internet.
