IPv4 Addresses
Internet Protocol: Which version?
There are currently two versions of the Internet Protocol in
use for the Internet
• IPv4 (IP Version 4)
•
•
•
•
Specified in 1980/81 (RFC 760, 791)
Four byte addresses
Universally deployed
Problem: Address space almost exhausted
• IPv6 (IP Version 6)
•
•
•
•
Specification from 1998 (RFC 2460)
Significant differences to IPv4, but not fundamental changes
16-byte addresses
Problem: Not widely used (yet?)
Slow adoption of IPv6
• IPv6 is available since 15 years, and almost all operating
systems and routers support it
• But IPv6 is still a small fraction of the total Internet traffic
• Measurements at Internet Exchange Point in Amsterdam:
IPv6 traffic as a percentage
IPv6 traffic (total volume)
ECE 461: IPv4 based
We use IPv4 throughout in lecture, labs, and assignment
IPv6 concepts are discussed in the lecture

IP Addresses
• An IPv4 address is an address of the Internet Protocol
Version 4. When the version is understood from the context
we only say “IP address”
• On the public Internet, an IP address is unique global address
of a network interface
• The IP address is used by hosts and routers for delivery of IP
datagrams
Dotted Decimal Notation
• IPv4 addresses are written using dotted decimal notation:
– Each byte is identified by a decimal number in the range [0..255],
separated by periods (`dots’).
• Example:
10000000
1st Byte
= 128
1100100
2nd Byte
= 100
00001011
3rd Byte
= 11
128.100.11.60
00111100
4th Byte
= 60
Structure of an IP address
• IP address consists of a network prefix and a host number
network prefix
host number
– Network prefix identifies a particular network
– Host number identifies an interface on the network
• The delivery of a packet from a sender to the destination
proceeds in 2 steps:
1. Use network prefix to deliver packet to the right network
2. Once the network is found, use the host number to deliver
packet to the right interface
• How can you determine the length of the network prefix?
Length of network prefix
32 bits
network prefix
host number
Length of
network prefix
• The length of the network prefix must be provided in addition
to the numerical value of the address
• There are two conventions for indicating the length:
1. Add length of the network prefix to address
(“prefix notation”, “slash notation”, “CIDR notation”)
2. Add bitmask of the network prefix in dotted decimal notation
(“netmask”)
Notation of IP address
• Example: Suppose the network prefix is 16 bits long
128.100
11.60
network prefix
host number
netmask 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0

• Prefix notation:
128.100.11.60/16
• Netmask notation:
128.100.11.60
255.255.0.0
0
Special IP Addresses
• IP address of a network
– Host number is set to all zeros, e.g., 128.100.0.0
• Broadcast address
– Host number is set to all ones, e.g., 128.100.255.255
– Broadcast goes to all hosts on the network
– The address 255.255.255.255 is a broadcast on the local
network
• Convention for default gateway (but not a reserved address):
– Default gateway has host number set to ‘1’, e.g., 128.100.0.1
Reserved Network Prefixes
• Loopback interfaces:
127.0.0.0/8
– Most systems use 127.0.0.1 as loopback address
– A host can send a packet to itself by sending it to address 127.0.0.1
• Link Local Addresses:
169.254.0.0/16
– Also referred to as auto-configuration
– When a system cannot acquire an IP address, it selects a random
address from the range (it tests whether the address is in use)
– Packets from this address are not forwarded to other networks
• Private networks:
10.0.0.0/8, 172.16.0.0/12, 192.168.0.0/16
– Private networks are IP networks that are not part of the public Internet
– IP addresses need to be unique only within the same private network
• Systems on different private networks can re-use addresses
– When packets cross between private network and public Internet, IP
addresses in header must be modified
Network Prefix and Address Block
• The IP address of a network has the host number set to 0:
128.100.0.0
• Network address with prefix length is called network prefix:
128.100.0.0/16
or
128.100/16
• A network prefix is interpreted as a range of IP addresses:
128.100.0.0/16  128.100.0.0–128.100.255.255
– A network prefix is also called address block
– It provides the range of addresses allowed on the network
– The shorter the network prefix, the larger the address block
Network prefix length and address block size
• To set up a network of a given size, one needs to acquire a
address block with a sufficient number of addresses

• Internet Assigned Number Authorities (IANA) manages the global IP
address space.
• IANA allocates addresses to Regional Internet Registries (RIR)
– IANA allocates addresses in /8 address blocks
– All available blocks have been allocated. The last available address block was assigned
in 2011

• RIR allocates addresses to Local Internet Registries (LIR)
– LIRs are generally Internet Service Providers
– Block sizes are /20 or larger
• End users obtain addresses from an RIR or LIR
• Some countries have National Internet Registries (NIR), which are between
the RIR and LIR levels
Regional Internet Registries
• There are five Regional Internet Registries, each responsible
for managing the address space of a large geographic area
• Address blocks managed by the RIRs are listed at:
http://www.iana.org/assignments/ipv4-address-space/ipv4-address-space.xml
Available IPv4 addresses (Sep 2016)
• RIRs are running
low on IP addresses:
(one /8 address block ≈16.8 million IP addresses)
• Current status of
remaining IP

IPv4 exhaustion and Migration to IPv6
• The vast majority of IPv4 addresses are used up
 IPv4 exhaustion
• Adoption of IPv6 is driven by IPv4 exhaustion:
– There have been numerous predictions of imminent IPv4 exhaustion
– People have been creative with slowing down IPv4 exhaustion through
policies and protocols
– IPv4 exhaustion will occur gradually, but is increasingly urgent
• As IPv4 addresses become less available, the use of IPv6 is
expected to increase substantially
– The migration from IPv4 to IPv6 is expected to be a slow
transition, lasting a decade or more
– Until then, IPv4 and IPv6 will co-exist
Classful IP Addresses
•
When Internet addresses were standardized (early 1980s),
the Internet address space was divided up into classes
•
Three classes available for interfaces:
– Class A: Network prefix is 8 bits long
– Class B: Network prefix is 16 bits long
– Class C: Network prefix is 24 bits long
•
Two additional classes:
– Class D: Used (multicast) group addresses
– Class E: Reserved for future use
Classful IP Addresses
• The classes were identified by the bit values of the IP address
– Class A: IP address starts with “0”
– Class B: IP address starts with “10”
– Class C: IP address starts with “110”
– Class D: IP address starts with “1110”
– Class E: IP address starts with “11110”
• The length of the network prefix is implied by the address
• There is no need to provide the length of the network prefix

(reserved for future use)
• We will learn about multicast addresses later in this course
• Class E addresses have never been released for use
IP Allocation with Classful IP Addresses
• Limited flexibility for obtaining a network address:
Class C: ≤ 224 - 2 = 254 IP addresses:
Class B: ≤ 216 - 2 = 65534 IP addresses
Class A: ≤ 224 - 2 = 16,772,214 IP addresses
• Too few network addresses for large networks
27 = 128
Class A networks
214 = 16,384 Class B networks
• Flat address space. Routing tables in the backbone Internet
need one entry for each network address.
Class C networks: up to 221 = 2,097,152 entries
By 1993, the lookup time of routing tables had become a
bottleneck for Internet performance
Allocation of Classful Addresses
From Classful to Classless
• In 1993, there was a major shift for interpreting and allocating
IP addresses:
until 1993:
after 1993:
Classful
Addresses
Classless
Interdomain
Routing
(CIDR)
CIDR - Classless Interdomain Routing
• CIDR abandons the notion of classes
• Key Concept: The length of the network prefix of IP
addresses can be any value
• Consequences:
• Since the length of the network prefix is no longer
implied by the address, the size of the network
prefix must be provided with an IP address
( CIDR notation)
• Hierarchical routing aggregation introduces
dependency of IP addresses to service provider
• Need for new lookup algorithms for routing tables
