The document provides an overview of how the Internet works, including:
- IP addresses and domain names allow devices to communicate over the Internet and find resources. IP addresses are numeric identifiers while domain names are easier for humans to remember.
- When a user enters a domain name, DNS servers work behind the scenes to translate it to an IP address so the request can be routed to the proper destination.

12. Why an IP address
IP addresses are the numbers that enable our computers, servers,
telephones, cameras, printers and sensors to communicate with each
other.
Without IP addresses, we would have to copy data from device to
device manually, using CDs, DVDs, hard disks or flash storage, such as
a USB drive. But more importantly, our devices could not send data to
each other without human intervention.
14. IPv4
Made up of 32 Bits
Separated into 4 octets
Network address identifies the network, Surname
Usable address are the useable IPs on the subnet, Name
Broadcast address is used to send data to all nodes in the network
Example: 128.143.137.144
15. Dotted Decimal Notation
IP addresses are written in a so-called dotted decimal
notation
Each byte(octet) is identified by a decimal number in the
range [0..255]:
Example:
1000111110000000 10001001 10010000
1st Byte
= 128
2nd Byte
= 143
3rd Byte
= 137
4th Byte
= 144
128.143.137.144
18. IPv6 vs. IPv4: Address Comparison
IPv4 has a maximum of
232 4 billion addresses
Because 232 = 4,294,967,29610
IPv6 has a maximum of
2128 = (232)4 4 billion x 4 billion x 4 billion x 4 billion
addresses
Example of IPv6: CEDF:BP76:3245:4464:FACE:2E50:3025:DF12
Example of IPv4: 196.192.10.15
