octet
one section of an IP address, consisting of a group of 8 bits
positional notation
determining a digit value based on the digit position, used in converting from one numbering system to another
subnet mask
a continuous sequence of 1 bits followed by a continuous sequence of 0 bits, used to determine the network portion of an IP address
ANDing
a binary process used to determine the network address of a host address by using the host address subnet mask
prefix length

network address

host address
any IP address in an IP network that can be assigned to an interface
broadcast address
a dotted-decimal number that represents all hosts in an IP network
unicast address

multicast address
an IP address representing a selected group of hosts
public address
an IP address that can be routed on the Internet
private address
an IP address used internally and not routed on the Internet
classfull addressing
