It describes IPv4 addressing including notation, address space, and classful addressing. It then discusses limitations of classful addressing and the transition to classless addressing. It also introduces network address translation (NAT) and IPv6 addressing.

Communication at Network layer

Host to Host (Computer to Computer)


Usually computers communicate through internet
This needs a global addressing scheme
Logical Addressing

IPv4 and IPv6

IPv4 (IP version 4)


An IPv4 address is 32 bits long
IPv4 addresses are unique
and universal
The address space of IPv4 is
232 or 4,294,967,296
4 294 967 296

Classful Addressing
IPv4 addressing
addressing, at its inception
inception, used the
concept of classes
In classful addressing
addressing, the address space
is divided into five classes:
A,
A B,
B C,
C D,
D and
dE

Netid and Hostid concept does not apply to clases D and E

Drawbacks: Classful addressing


In Class A, block is too large
most of addresses were wasted and were not
in use

Block in Class B is also too large


Block of Class C is probably too small for
many organizations

Class E: were reserved for future use -----only few were used

Classless Addressing
No classes
classes, but addresses are still granted
in blocks
Restriction:
The addresses in a block must be contiguous
The

be
a power of 2 (1,2,4,8 ,)

the number of addresses

Example: 01

The above figure shows a block of addresses,


in both binary and dotted-decimal notation,
granted to a small business that needs 16
addresses

Example: 01

Contd
Contd

We can see that the restrictions are applied to this


block
The addresses are contiguous
The number of addresses is a power of 2
and the first address is divisible by 16

(16 = 24 )

The first address, when converted to a decimal number, is


3 440 387 360 which when divided by 16 results in 215,024,210
3,440,387,360,
215 024 210

MASKING
In IPv4 addressing,
addressing a block of
addresses can be defined as:
x.y.z.t
x y z t /n
in which x.y.z.t defines one of the addresses
and the /n defines the mask

The address and the /n notation


completely define the whole block
the first address
the last address
and the number of addresses

MASKING Contd..
Contd
The first address in the block can be found by
y setting
g the
rightmost
32 n bits to 0s
The last address in the block can be found by setting the
rightmost
32 n bits to 1s
The number of addresses in the block can be found by
y
using the formula
232-n

Example-02
A block of addresses is granted to a small
organization. We know that one of the
addresses is 205.16.37.39/28.

The number of addresses:

Another solution of Example-02


Example 02
The first address can be found by ANDing
g
the given addresses with the mask. ANDing
here is done bit by bit. The result of ANDing
2 bits is 1 if both bits are 1s; the result is 0
otherwise.

Another solution of Example-02


Example 02
The last address can be found by
y ORing
g the g
given
addresses with the complement of the mask. ORing
here is done bit by bit. The result of ORing 2 bits is 0
if both bits are 0s;; the result is 1 otherwise. The
complement of a number is found by changing each
1 to 0 and each 0 to 1

Network Address
Three level Hierarchy: Subnetting

Example: An organization takes a


block of addresses starting with
17 12 14 0/26 from an ISP.
17.12.14.0/26
ISP Design three
subnets of 32, 16 and 16 addresses.
Solution: The organization has its own
mask and each subnet must also have
its own.

Suppose mask for first, second and third

An ISP is g
granted a block of addresses starting
g with
190.100.0.0/16 (65,536 addresses). The ISP needs to
distribute these addresses to three groups of
customers as follows:
a) The first group has 64 customers; each needs 256
addresses.
b) The second group has 128 customers; each needs 128
addresses.
c) The third group has 128 customers; each needs 64
addresses.

Design the subblocks and find out how many


addresses are still available after these allocations.

NAT enables a user to have a large set of
addresses internally
and one address,, or small set of addresses
externally

IP 6
IPv6

Dual Stack

A station must run IPv4 and IPv6 simultaneously until all


the Internet uses IPv6.
Which version supposed to be used to send a packet will
be decided by DNS.

Tunneling

Two computers
p
using
g IPv6 want to communicate
And the packet must pass through a region that
uses IPv4.

Header Translation

The sender wants to use IPv6 but receiver does


not understand IPV6
In this case, tunneling will not work. Therefore
the header of the IPv6 packet is converted to an
IPv4 header.
