Topic #13: IPv4 Flashcards
It is an address used in order to uniquely identify a device on an IP Network
IP Address
How many bits does the IP make up
32 Binary Bits
How many octets will the 32 binary bits be divided to
4 Octets
What format is the IP addressed expressed to
dotted decimal format
the value range for each octet
0 - 255
special address used as the destination address in order for all receiving hosts to accept the packet
broadcast address
two types of broadcast communication
directed broadcast
limited broadcast
types of communication in the network
Unicast Transmission
Limited Broadcast
Multicast Transmission
a type of message that is sent to all other hosts within the network
Broadcast
it is the logical division of a computer network wherein all other nodes can be reached by each other by broadcast at all data link layers
broadcast domain
a type of communication addressing where it happens one to one
unicast
a type of communication where it is sent to a group of hosts but is limited
multicast
what is the IPv4 destination address for a broadcast
the highest address in a network
these are hosts that want to receive particular multicast data
multicast clients
these are represented by a single IPv4 multicast destination address
multicast group
types of addresses in an IPv4 Network Range
network address
broadcast address
host address
it is a special address that refers to the network
network address
it is a special address used to send data to all hosts in the network
broadcast address
it is a type of unicast address assigned to the end devices in the network
host address
it refers to the number of bits in the address that gives the network portion
prefix length
these help one know which portion of the address is the network and which portion is the host
network mask
network mask for a Class A network
255.0.0.0
network mask for a Class B network
255.255.0.0
network mask for a Class C network
- 255.0
Upper limit of Class A addresses
126
Upper Limit of Class B Addresses
191
Upper Limit of Class C Addresses
223
Upper Limit of Class D Addresses
239
Upper Limit of Class E Addresses
