What is internet protocol ( IP ) , type of internet protocol?

Internet Protocol 

What is Internet Protocol(IP) ?

  • IP is connectionless and unreliable protocol.
  • it is the principal communication protocol in the IP suite for relaying datagrams across network boundaries.
  • IP has the task of delivering packets from the source host to the destination host.
  • IP is a protocol, or set of rules, for routing and addressing packets of data so that they can travel across network and arrive at the correct destination. 
 

What is IPv4 ?

  • Internet Protocol Version 4.
  • 32-bit addressing mode.
  • Used as TCP/IP host addressing machanism.
  • It enables every host on the TCP/IP network to be uniquely.
  • 4 billion unique IP address are generated 2^32.
  •  Range - 0 to 255.
  • It consists 4 octets each has 8 bits.
  •  IPv4 is a numeric address separated by . (dot).
  • It has total 5 classes.
    • class A - 1.0.0.0 to 126.0.0.0 
    • class B - 128.0.0.0 to 191.255.0.0
    • class C - 192.0.0.0 to 223.255.255.0
    • class D - 224 to 239
    • class E - 240 to 255
 
What is IPv6 ?
  • 128-bit addressing mode.
  • It consists 8 octets/segments/block of 4 hexadecimal digits.
  • IPv6 is a numeric address separated by : (colon).
  • It does not consist of classes.
  • 79 x 10^28 unique address space.
 
Types of IPv6 address:
  • Unicast - A unicast address is used to refer to a single host. It is meant to send data to a single destination.
  • Multicast - A multicast address can be used to deliver a package to a group of destination. Any packet sent to a multicast will be delivered to every host that has joined that particular group.
  • Anycast - The anycast address is very similar to the multicast address.

what is OSI model | what are seven layer of OSI model | function of OSI model. OSI Reference Model INTRODUCTION Stands for open system interconnection. It has 7 layers. Each layer having specific functionality to perform. All layers work collaboratively to transmit the data from one person to another across the globe.                            All 7 layers of OSI model explain briefly: Physical layer To move data in the form of electromagnetic signals across a transmission medium. Responsible for movements of individual bits from one hop (Node) to next hop. Both data can be either analog or digital. Transmission media of data which can be wired or wireless.   Data link layer It is responsible for moving frames from one hop to the next. Responsible for error free transfer of data frames. Controls the flow of data. Network layer The network layer works for the tra...
