初识IP地址（The first IP address） IP address introduction As is known to all, in the field of telephone communication, dial a telephone first to know each others telephone number, in the entire telephone network, the number is unique. Similarly, in a computer network, each computer must have an identifier similar to that of a telephone number, which is called an IP address. In the computer field, electrical signals are represented and recognized by 0 or 1. Either a computers internal communications or a file is transmitted over the network. For hardware, it consists of a series of 0 and 1 codes. For example, when downloading an MP3 file, the information received by the network device and the computer is essentially a long string of 0 and 1 code, such as 00000100000000111100001010101010000. Of course, IP addresses are no exception. Network devices analyze IP addresses by 0 and 1 code. Todays IP address uses the V4 version, which consists of 32 bits, 0, 1 codes, using binary rules, or 32 bits, such as 11000000101010000000000100000001, for example, IP. Such a long memory address is very difficult, so people with dotted decimal to express the IP address, 32 bit code is divided into 4 groups of 8, with the middle . So the code can be divided into1010100000000001, then use the decimal system of the 4 group of 8 bit code figures. It becomes 192.168.1.1. Its so easy for us to remember. Each of these 8 bits of code is called a byte, and a IP address consists of 4 bytes. According to these characteristics, the overall range of the IP address is between 32 bit and 32 bit 1, that is, 0.0.0.0 to 255.255.255.255. This constitutes the overall IP address range of the existing internet. Of course, these addresses can not be randomly distributed, and we have to divide them in detail. Classification of IP addresses The entire 32 bit IP address consists of two parts: the network address and the host address. The network address represents one segment of the network, and
