Terminology

IAD
The IAD (Integrated Access Device) is a device for realising an Internet
connection. Usually, this device is provided by the Internet provider.
IP Address
Unique numerical address within a TCP/IP network that is assigned to one
device and ensures that data packages reach the correct recipient.
IPv4 Address
IPv4 addresses comprise four numbers between 0 and 255 that are
separated by a point, for example, 192.168.0.14. The network addresses
are divided up into different classes (Class A to C) depending on how many
computers can be located in a network.
Certain ranges are reserved for the operation of local networks:
•
Class A: 10.x.x.x (for networks with up to 16.5 million PCs)
•
Class B: 172.16.x.x to 172.31.x.x (for networks with up to 65534 PCs)
•
Class C: 192.168.0.x to 192.168.255.x (for networks with up to 254
PCs)
These addresses have no validity on the Internet; this means that data
packets with this sender type or recipient address cannot be transported on
the Internet. However, they can be used in local networks without restriction.
