What is an IP Address?

An IP address (Internet Protocol address) serves as an identifier of a computer or device within a TCP/IP network. The IP address is written using four numbers separated by periods and follows a 32-bit numeric format. Each number can be any value in a range of 0 to 255.

The four numbers in an IP address are used in different ways to identify a particular network and a host on that network.

There are 4 regional Internet registries: ARIN, RIPE NCC, LACNIC and APNIC , which assign Internet addresses from the following three classes.

  • Class A - supports 16 million hosts on each of 126 networks
  • Class B - supports 65,000 hosts on each of 16,000 networks
  • Class C - supports 254 hosts on each of 2 million networks

The number of unassigned internet addresses is running out, so a new classless scheme is slowly being adopted to substitute the normal assignment system, which is called CIDR.
