We will use this IP address as an example. 183.53.225.3.\nI can tell you that this is a Class B address. We’ll get into classes in a bit. It’s a routable address on the internet.\nAn IP address is used to uniquely identify a device on the interwebz.\n\n
This is that same IP address in the previous slide converted into binary.\nAn IP address is a 32 bit address.\nLet’s work backwards to figure out how a decimal IP address is a 32 bit binary address.\n

An IP address can be broken out into 4 Octets. \nEach octet is 1 byte. Each octet you see here represents the 4 sections of a decimal address in binary.\n

1 byte is 8 bits. So each octet has 8 bits and there are 4 octets. 8 multiplied by 4 gives us 32 bits.\n
The first row is your base values.\n\nThe second row are your magic numbers. Binary is a base-2 number system. These numbers are based on the power of 2.\n\n2^0 = 1. 2^1 = 2. 2^2 = 4. Etc\n\nThe third row contains our remaining value for converting decimal to binary. Which we get the value on the bottom row.\n

IP addresses are most known for their classful network design. \nThis is now obsolete as it doesn’t scale. Obviously, because of the depletion of IPv4 and the migration to IPv6.\nThis architecture wasted a lot of IP addresses. \nVLSM, variable length subnet masking, came along to help allocate IP addresses more efficiently with prefix lengths.\nEach class has its own private IP address range which is used inside private networks. \n
Most people are familiar with the Class C private address. It’s used within home networks. \nThese private addresses are not routable on the Internet.\n
