Hello friends my name is Vasu Birla and today will discuss
third method or idea on which we can divide IP address types. So Let’s start … in
previous part we have discussed two methods already now third method is here
3. Public and Private IP address
Public IP address
- When Classful addresses were
introduced , IANA made available IP
address of three classes A B and C for
public
Means these IP addresses - Class A begins 1 to 126 for government or very big organizations
Class B begins 128 to 191 available for medium size companies
Class C
begins 192 to 223 available for small organization
And with this basic idea IANA started assignments of IP
addresses. Means those people who wanted
to connect with public network or Internet they had to assign IP address among
these public IP adds ranges and for that they had to pay IANA, but these IP adds were not distributed directly
by IANA to users , IANA provides These Public IP ranges to Service provider
and Servicer providers distribute these
IPs to organizations or to particular users.
Private IP address -
But here IANA defines one more concept of private IP addresses for those
people who don’t want to pay for network and
don’t want to connect with public network or Internet Although users can assign any kind of IP adds in
private network but whenever they want to make their private network to public
they can not do it because they did not paid for such public IP adds
That is why IANA
provides some special ranges from each class for private networks and these ranges are
free of cost. Private IP address are not
routable.
Ranges of Private IP address - Class A- 10.0.0.0 to 10.255.255.255
Class
B - 172.16.0.0 to 172.31.255.255
Class
C - 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.255
So above given private IP address ranges are free of cost
you don’t have to pay with these ip addresses
and you can assign IP address to your private network hosts.
But if you wants to connect your private Network to internet
so you have to use some translation methods like NAT (Network Address Translation) we will discuss about it later.
Thanks for reading in the next part we will discuss about some special kind of addresses you will get very deeply and sharp knowledge about IP address...... good luck Hare krishna.
