Multicast Address
Logical identifier for a group of hosts in a computer network (like a group chat)
Classful Mask
Default subnet mask for a given class of IP addresses
Classless Inter-Domain Routing
Allows for the borrowing of some of the host bits and reassigning them to the network portion of the subnet mask
Subnetting
Allows for the use of a classless subnet mask to create smaller networks with fewer hosts in each network
Process is called CIDR (Classless Inter-Domain Routing) Notation
ICANN
Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers
Globally manages and leases publicly routable IP addresses
ARIN
North America IP addresses
