IP addressing and its Classes | Lecture 5

Welcome to the fifth lecture in our series, "IP Addressing and Its Classes." In this lecture, we'll explore the fundamental concept of IP addressing, including IP address classes and their significance in the world of networking and the internet. Whether you're a student, an IT professional, or anyone curious about the backbone of the internet, this lecture will provide you with a solid understanding of IP addressing.

Lecture Highlights:

Introduction to IP Addressing: We'll start with a clear introduction to IP addresses, what they are, and why they are crucial in the context of networking and the internet.

IPv4 vs. IPv6: Understand the key differences between IPv4 (Internet Protocol version 4) and IPv6 (Internet Protocol version 6) and why the transition to IPv6 is essential.

IP Address Structure: Dive into the structure of IPv4 addresses, including binary representation and decimal notation. Learn about the four octets and how they define an IP address.

Classes of IP Addresses:

Class A: Explore Class A IP addresses, their range, and how they are allocated. Understand when and how Class A addresses are used.
Class B: Delve into Class B IP addresses, their range, and allocation. Learn about their use in medium-sized networks.
Class C: Understand Class C IP addresses, their range, and allocation. Discover their role in smaller networks and as default for many devices.
Class D and Class E: Learn about Class D addresses used for multicast and Class E addresses, reserved for experimental purposes.
Subnetting: Get an overview of subnetting and how it allows network administrators to divide IP address ranges into smaller, more manageable segments.

Private IP Addresses: Explore the concept of private IP addresses and the ranges designated for internal use in private networks, often behind NAT (Network Address Translation) routers.

Public vs. Private IP Addresses: Understand the distinction between public IP addresses, used for internet-facing devices, and private IP addresses for devices within local networks.

IP Address Classes in IPv6: Learn how IPv6 handles IP address classes, and the benefits it brings in terms of address space and hierarchy.

CIDR Notation: Discover the use of CIDR (Classless Inter-Domain Routing) notation to represent IP address ranges and subnet masks more efficiently.

Role in Networking: Understand the role of IP addresses in routing and packet forwarding, allowing data to traverse the internet and local networks.

IP Address Assignment: Explore how IP addresses are assigned, including manual configuration, DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol), and automatic assignment by internet service providers.
