IP Address Classes
• How large is the network part in an IP address?
• Today we use network masks to tell• Originally, IP had address classes with
fixed numbers of bits in the network part– Class A: 8 bits (24 bits in local part)– Class B: 16 bits (16 bits in local part)– Class C: 24 bits (8 bits in local part)

Class A IP Address
• IP address begins with 0
• 7 remaining bits in network part– Only 128 possible Class A networks
• 24 bits in local part– Over 16 million hosts per Class A network!
• All Class A network parts are assigned or reserved

Class B IP Address
• IP address begins with 10 (1st zero in 2nd position)
• 14 remaining bits in network part– Over 16,000 possible Class B networks
• 16 bits in local part– Over 65,000 possible hosts
• A good trade-off between number of networks and hosts per network
• Most have been assigned

Class C IP Address
• IP address begins with 110 (1st zero in 3d position)
• 21 more bits in network part– Over 2 million possible Class C networks!
• 8 bits in local part– Only 256 possible hosts per Class C network!
• Unpopular, because large firms must have several

Class D IP Address
• IP address begins with 1110• Used for multicasting, not defining networks
– Sending message to group of hosts
– Not just to one (unicasting)
– Not ALL hosts (broadcasting)
– Say to send a videoconference stream to a group of receivers

Class D IP Address
• All hosts in a multicast group listen for this multicast address as well as for their specific own host IP address

Multicasting
• Traditionally, unicasting and broadcasting– Unicasting: send to one host
– Broadcasting: send to ALL hosts
• Multicasting– Send to SOME hosts
– 500 stations viewing a video course
– 50 computers getting software upgrades
– Standards exist and are improving
– Not widely implemented yet

Why Multicasting
• Do not need to send an IP packet to each host– Routers split when needed– Reduces traffic
SinglePacket
MultiplePackets

Mobile IP
• IP addresses are associated with fixed physical locations
• Mobile IP is needed for notebooks, other portable equipment
• Computer still gets a permanent IP address• When travels, also gets a temporary IP address
at its location• This is linked dynamically to its permanent IP
address
