That is a Class B IP address. If memory serves me correction the 176 and 16 octives are the network definitions, and the 2 octives to follow those are for host IDs.
Public IP addresses
They are private addresses. I think Class A
They are normally the IP addresses which your computer uses to talk to your internet router/modem. They are not the same as the IP address that your router is known by on the broadband link.

Yes and that is called IPV6
IP addresses are assigned by a particular authority called IANA. IP address is of two types IP version 4 and version 6. The database where names corresponding to IP address are stored is called name space.
Any system in an Ethernet IP network will transmit IP addresses.
Usually, in dynamic addressing models, the host obtains its IP address via DHCP - an administrator sets up a pool of available addresses in an IP range (called a scope) and gives them to clients as they ask for addresses.
They are static.
Private IP Addresses are not used for internet data traffic but are intended to be used specifically on internal networks called intranets.
