Internet Protocol Addresses

The glue that holds the Internet together is the network layer protocol, IP (Internet Protocol). Every host and router on the Internet has an IP address,hich encodes its network number and host number. An IP address can be class A, B, C, D and E.

Network numbers are assigned by the NIC (Network Information Center) to avoid conflicts. A network can be split into several parts for internal use but act like a single network outside the world. In the Internet literature, these parts are called subnets.

This presentation exposes briefly the IP address assigning process. It covers subnets and how they can change the structure of the network.
