Types of IP Addresses

Public IP Address
Unique address assigned to a device for
communication over the internet, visible
to external networks.

Private IP Address
Used within a local network to identify
devices internally, not directly accessible
from the internet.

Dynamic and Static IP


IP addresses can be dynamically assigned
by a network's DHCP server or set as
static for consistent identification.

Classes Of IPv4

 IPv4 (Internet Protocol version 4)


addresses are divided into
different classes based on the
range of addresses and their
intended use. There are five
classes in total: A, B, C, D, and E.
 Class A :
 First octet is the network portion.
 Range :- 1-126 (1.0.0.0 to 126.255.255.255)
 Allows for a large number of networks with a large
number of hosts.
 Example: 10.0.0.0, 100.0.0.0

 Class B :
 First two octets are the network portion.
 Range :- 128-191 (128.0.0.0 to 191.255.255.255)
 Suitable for medium to large-sized networks.
 Example: 172.16.0.0, 172.31.0.0
 Class C :
 First three octets are the network portion.
 Range:- 192-223(192.0.0.0 to 223.255.255.255)
 Used for smaller networks.
 Example: 192.168.0.0

 Class D :
 Reserved for multicast groups.
 Multicast addresses are used to send data to
multiple hosts simultaneously.
 Class E :
 Reserved for experimental purposes.
 Not intended for general use.

location of devices for various
applications. Geolocation based on IP addresses
raises privacy concerns, necessitating
responsible and ethical handling of
location data.
Anonymization Techniques
Anonymizing IP addresses through
techniques such as IP masking and
proxy servers protects user privacy
and anonymity.
