Overview of IPv4
IPv4 fully abbreviated as Internet Protocol version 4 is the fourth version of
Internet Protocol. It is a 32-bit integers which will be expressed in hexadecimal
notation. The parts of IPv4 are:-
1.Network part
2.Host part
3.Subnet number
Network Part
It indicates the distinctive variety that’s appointed to the network. The
network part conjointly identifies the category of the network that’s assigned.
Host Part
It identifies the machine on your network. This part is assigned to every host.
Subnet Number
It is not a necessary part of IPv4. Local networks that have massive numbers of
hosts are divided into subnets and subnet numbers are appointed to that.
The IPv4 Addressing system is divided into five classes of IP Addresses. All the
five classes are identified by the first octet of IP Address.
For Example :-
172 -------- 1st Octet
16-------------2nd Octet
254----------3rd Octet
1------------- 4th Octet
