"The RFC 1918 private network numbers are 10.0.0.0, Class Bs between 172.16.0.0 and 172.31.0.0 inclusive, and all Class C networks that begin with 192.168. All addresses that begin with 127 are reserved, but not as valid private IP addresses."

What are IP addresses called that begin with 10?
They are private addresses. I think Class A
Which table accurately associates the RFC 1918 private IP addresses with the correct network mask?
192.168.0.0 | 255.255.0.0 172.16.0.0 | 255.240.0.0 10.0.0.0 | 255.0.0.0
What is the difference between Static IP and Public IP?
A computer on the Internet is identified by its IP address. In order to avoid address conflicts, IP addresses are publicly registered with the Network Information Centre (NIC). Computers on private TCP/IP LANs however do not need public addresses, since they do not need to be accessed by the public. For this reason, the NIC has reserved certain addresses that will never be registered publicly. These are known as private IP addresses, and are found in the following ranges: From 10.0.0.0 to 10.255.255.255 From 172.16.0.0 to 172.31.255.255 From 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.255
Under what circumstance would it be appropriate to use private IP address?
The usual reason to use private IP addresses is when you have to share a single public IP address (or a few public IP addresses) among a larger number of computers. Nowadays, this situation is quite common - it is no longer possible to assign a public IP (version 4) address to each and every computer; IP addresses are starting to get scarce. In the scenario mentioned above, private IP addresses according to RFC 1918 are used in combination with NAT (network address translation).
What protocol is responsible for resolving ip addresses to mac addresses for source hosts that knows ip addresses of the destination host but not the mac address?
ARP, or Address Resolution Protocol, defined by RFC 826.
What is RFC 1918?
RFC 1918 is Address Allocation for Private Internets The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) has reserved the following three blocks of the IP address space for private internets: 10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255 (10/8 prefix) 172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255 (172.16/12 prefix) 192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255 (192.168/16 prefix) We will refer to the first block as "24-bit block", the second as "20-bit block", and to the third as "16-bit" block. Note that (in pre-CIDR notation) the first block is nothing but a single class A network number, while the second block is a set of 16 contiguous class B network numbers, and third block is a set of 256 contiguous class C network numbers.
Which is the private IP address that cant be routed across the internet?
The ranges and the amount of usable IP's are as follows:10.0.0.0 - 10.255.255.255Addresses: 16,777,216172.16.0.0 - 172.31.255.255Addresses: 1,048,576192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.255Addresses: 65,536
What ip address would you use for a local network?

What are private addresses and how are they used to provide extra external IP addresses?
Private addresses are used within an organization, and they are not visible to the outside. Within your local network, you should use the address ranges recommended in RFC 1918, for example, IP addresses that have "10" in the first byte (octet). An equipment with NAT enabled will translate these addresses to a single public address (or a few of them) - making it look, to the outside world, as if the information from several computers originated at the single public address.Thus, the combination of private addresses and NAT will not "provide extra external IP addresses", instead, it will save those valuable IP addresses, requiring only a single public address for a larger network. Cisco mentions, as a rule-of-thumb, a limit of about 4000 machines per public IP address.Private addresses are used within an organization, and they are not visible to the outside.

How many class B networks are reserved by RFC 1918?

How many networks and addresses are available for class b ip addresses?
First octet rule for each class:Class A: 0xxxxxxxClass B: 10xxxxxxClass C: 110xxxxxClass A range is 0 - 1270.0.0.0 and 127.0.0.0 are not "routable" IP addresses. One defines all networks and the other is the loopback. We have a total of 126 usable networks and 16,777,214 usable hostaddresses per network. There are even less if we don't count the private address of 10.0.0.0 (RFC 1918).Class B range is 128 - 191There are 16,384 total networks in this class; that's including the private addresses of 172.16.0.0 - 172.31.0.0 (RFC 1918). There are a total of 65,534 usable host addresses per network.Class C range is 192 - 223There are 2,097,152 total networks in this class; that's including the private addresses of 192.168.0.0 - 192.168.255.0 (RFC 1918). There are 254 usable hosts addresses per network.
