There are three "classes" of IPv4 subnets. Essentially, these refer to which "octet" is set.

Class A: A /8 network (netmask 255.0.0.0) - the first octet is set and the rest belong to you. i.e. 128.x.y.z. You have 256x256x256/2^24 IPs available here.

Class B: a /16 network (netmask 255.255.0.0) - the first two octets are set and the rest belong to you, i.e. 128.67.y.z. You have 256x256/2^16 IPs available.

Class C: a /24 network (netmask 255.255.255.0) - the first three octets are set and the use of the fourth is yours, i.e. 128.67.4.z. You have 256/2^8 IPs available.

It's possible your question may have meant types of addresses used (for routing purposes). There are broadcast addresses (send a packet to everyone on my local network), unicast (basically point-to-point connections, the most common) and multicast (senders/receivers communicate through a multicast IP, sending one packet to many destinations with just one transmission).

What is the number of bytes in ipv4 address represented in dotted decimal notation?

An IPv4 address represented in dotted decimal notation consists of four octets, each ranging from 0 to 255. Each octet is 1 byte, so the total size of an IPv4 address is 4 bytes. Thus, an IPv4 address in dotted decimal notation is 4 bytes in size.


What is the broadcast address on IPv4 networks?

The broadcast address on IPv4 networks is the subnet address, padded on the right with ones. For example, if the subnet address is 192.168.x.y, with a subnet mask of 255.255.0.0, then the broadcast address is 192.168.255.255.
