An Internet Protocol address (IP address) is a numerical label such as 192.0.2.1 that is assigned to a device connected to a computer network that uses the Internet Protocol for communication. [1][2] IP addresses serve two main functions: network interface identification, and location addressing. Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) defines an IP ...
Each / 8 block contains 256 3 = 2 24 = 16,777,216 addresses, which covers the whole range of the last three delimited segments of an IP address. This means that 256 /8 address blocks fit into the entire IPv4 space. As IPv4 address exhaustion has advanced to its final stages, some organizations, such as Stanford University, formerly using 36.0.0 ...
The ICMP header starts after the IPv4 header and is identified by its protocol number, 1. [4] All ICMP packets have an eight-byte header and variable-sized data section. The first four bytes of the header have fixed format, while the last four bytes depend on the type and code of the ICMP packet.
List of countries by IPv4 address allocation. This is a list of countries by IPv4 address allocation, as of 2 April 2012. It includes 252 areas, including all United Nations member states, plus the Holy See, Kosovo and Taiwan. There are 2 32 (over four billion) IP addresses in the IPv4 protocol. Of these, almost 600 million are reserved and ...
The Internet Protocol that finally emerged was assigned version number 6, being the lowest free number greater than 4. The PIP protocol and TUBA protocol used versions 8 and 9, following version 7 for TP/IX. In 2004, an IPv9 protocol was developed in China using 256-bit addresses.
Private network. In Internet networking, a private network is a computer network that uses a private address space of IP addresses. These addresses are commonly used for local area networks (LANs) in residential, office, and enterprise environments. Both the IPv4 and the IPv6 specifications define private IP address ranges.

Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR / ˈsaɪdər, ˈsɪ -/) is a method for allocating IP addresses for IP routing. The Internet Engineering Task Force introduced CIDR in 1993 to replace the previous classful network addressing architecture on the Internet. Its goal was to slow the growth of routing tables on routers across the Internet, and ...
