the address Class
This means the local network is using a Class B Network address scheme. Anytime you see an IP of 172.16.x.x - 172.31.x.x you are using a class B address. This means the first 2 octates of 172.16 - 31 are what defines the local network, and anything in the last two octates defines the host (ie computers) actual IP address assignment.
these are the four types of the topologies such as WAN:-Wide Area Network LAN:- Local Area Network MAN- Metropolitan Area network CAN:- Campus Area Network In these topologies meanings are clear for a name
The entire 127 range (127.0.0.1 to 127.255.255.254) is considered the LOOPBACK address range, and is in the class A network. This address range or block is reserved just for local testing.
The function of a subnet mask is to extract the network ID portion of an IP destination address and determine whether an IP address exists on the local network or whether it must be routed outside the local network
The IPv6 address that is required for other computers on a local network to communicate with each other is, the "Link-local address". The first hextet will always begin with FE80.
This IP address is usually called the localhost address.
This type of IP address is sometimes referred to as a link local address. It is used by computers when they do not have an address that was manually configured or the computer was not told what address to use on that network.
