What are the two parts of an IPv4 address.
- The Network Address Portion (Network ID)
- The Host Address Portion (Host ID)
This field in an IPv4 header provides information on the desired quality of service.
Service Type
This field in an IPv4 header limits the lifetime of a packet.
TTL (Time to Live)
This field in an IPv4 header specifies the 32-bit binary value that represents the IPv4 address of the sending endpoint.
Source Address
This field in an IPv4 header specifies the 32-bit binary value that represents the IPv4 address of the receiving endpoint.
Destination Address
