Introduction to

Internet Protocol
Objectives:
1. Discuss the information about IP addressing and
its components;
2. Identify the IP classes of any IP address;
3. appreciate the importance of IP addressing.
Have you ever thought about
how messages gets from one
place to another each time
you are using your messenger
or email over the Internet?
IP ADDRESS
 The IP or Internet Protocol is the
fundamental protocol for communications on
the Internet.
It specifies the way information is packetized,
addressed, transferred, routed, and received
by networked devices.
IP HISTORY
 Its development began in 1947, led by computer scientists Bob
Kahn and Vint Cerf. It is frequently used in conjunction with the
Transmission Control Protocol or TCP. Together they are referred
to as TCP/IP.
 The first major version of the Internet Protocol was version 4 or
IPv4. In 1981, it was formally defined in RFC 791 by the Internet
Engineering Task Force or IETF.
 The successor to IPv4 is IPv6, which was formalized by the IETF in
1998. It was designed to eventually replace IPv4. As of 2018, IPv6
governs approximately 20% of all Internet traffic.
IP ADDRESS
It is a number identification of a computer or
another device on the Internet. It is similar to a
mailing address which identifies where postal
mail comes from and where it should be delivered.
IP addresses uniquely identify the source and
destination of data transmitted with the Internet
Protocol.

ADDRESS CLASSES
With an IPv4 IP address, there are five classes of available IP ranges: Class A,
Class B, Class C, Class D and Class E.
 The table below shows the summary of the IP classes.

NOTE: Class A addresses 127.0.0.0 to 127.255.255.255 cannot be used and


is reserved for loopback testing.
STATIC VS. DYNAMIC IP ADDRESSES
 IP addresses are assigned in two different ways.

They may be dynamically assigned or statically assigned.


Dynamically assigned means the IP address can change automatically and
statically assigned means they are intended not to change automatically and
must be changed manually.
 Most home networks use dynamic allocation including our laptops, mobile
devices and tablets. Your router uses DHCP to temporarily assign or lease an
IP address to your device. After a period of time, this lease expires and the
router renews your old address or assigns you a new one depending on the
needs of the network and configuration of the router.
How data is
sent to an IP
address on
another
network?
 The following diagram
illustrates how your
home computer might
obtain IP address and
send data to an IP
address on another
network.
