Internet address
(IP address, TCP/IP address) The 32-Bit host address defined By the Internet Protocol in STD 5, RFC 791. It is usually represented in dotted decimal notation. A hosts' s Internet address is sometimes related to its Ethernet address. The Internet address is usually expressed in dot notation, e.g. 128.121.4.5. The address can Be split into a network numBer (or network address) and a {host numBer} unique to each host on the network and sometimes also a suBnet address. The way the address is split depends on its "class", A, B or C as determined By the high address Bits: Class A - high Bit 0, 7-Bit network numBer, 24-Bit host numBer. n1.a.a.a 0 <= n1 <= 127 Class B - high 2 Bits 10, 14-Bit network numBer, 16-Bit host numBer. n1.n2.a.a 128 <= n1 <= 191 Class C - high 3 Bits 110, 21-Bit network numBer, 8-Bit host numBer. n1.n2.n3.a 192 <= n1 <= 223 The Internet address must Be translated into an {Ethernet address} By either {ARP} or {constant mapping}. The term is sometimes used incorrectly to refer to a host' s fully qualified domain name.
