1)
Definition of IP address
IP also called Internet address is the logic address for solely marking the computers in
internet. Every computer in the internet relies on the IP address to mark itself. It’s like we
find the phone by the phone number in the phone book. In one network the IP address must
be unique.

Form of IP address
One IP address includes 4 decimal integers portioned by decimal points. Each integer
is in fact composed of 8 binary numbers. So the maximum of each integer is 255 and the
minimum is 0.

Structure and classification of IP
The four numbers of IP address can be divided into 2 parts. One is network number for
marking the network. Another is computer number for marking the specific machine in one
network. IP addresses are divided into 3 kinds: A, B and C.
A: the first number represents network and the following 3 numbers represent computer.
B: the first two numbers represent network and the following 2 numbers represent
computer.
C: the first three numbers represent network and the last one represents computer.
Use the following example to explain the network number and computer number of C
type.
