Vint Cerf And Bob Kahn CERF AND KAHN WERE TASKED WITH DEVELOPING A NEW NETWORK PROTOCOL THAT WOULD BE MORE RELIABLE AND EFFICIENT THAN THE EXISTING PROTOCOLS.

Internet Protocol (IP) Address

  IP ADDRESS IT IS A UNIQUE ADDRESS THAT WE CAN ASSIGN TO DEVICE .SO THAT DEVICECAN COMMUNICATE WITH EACH OTHER. WE CANNAOT ASSIGN SAME IP ADDRESS IN ANY TWO DEVICES IN OUR NETWORK. IF WE WILL DO THIS THEN IT WILL BE  CAUSE A CONFLICT ERROR. TWO VERSION OF IP ADDRESS: 1: IPV4 ; 2: IPV6 ; IPV4 32 BITS AND IPV6 128 BITS. AN IP ADDRESS, OR INTERNET PROTOCOL ADDRESS, IS A SERIES OF NUMBERS THAT IDENTIFIES ANY DEVICE ON A NETWORK.  COMPUTERS USE IP ADDRESSES TO COMMUNICATE WITH EACH OTHER BOTH OVER THE INTERNET AS WELL AS ON OTHER NETWORKS. TO FIND THE IP ADDRESS CLASS WE NEED TO LOOK AT THE FIRST DIGIT OF THE IP ADDRESS. AND BY LOOKING AT THE FIRST DIGIT, WE CAN GUESS THE SUBNET MASK TO WHICH CLASS IT BELONGS. CLASS A IP ADDRESS SUBNET MASK 255.0.0.0 CLASS B IP ADDRESS SUBNET MASK  255.255.0.0  CLASS C IP ADDRESS SUBNET MASK 255.255.255.0 IANA TABLE IP RANGES                 IANA   ( Internet Assigned Numbers Au...
