IP Addressing

🚀 IP Addressing Techniques IP addressing techniques are essential for efficiently allocating and managing network addresses. These techniques help network administrators organize address spaces, divide networks, and enable the smooth routing of data packets. 1. Classful Addressing Classful Addressing divides the IPv4 address space into five distinct classes: A, B, C, D, and E. Class A: 0.0.0.0 to 127.255.255.255 – Suitable for large networks with many hosts. Class B: 128.0.0.0 to 191.255.255.255 – Medium-sized networks. Class C: 192.0.0.0 to 223.255.255.255 – Small networks. Class D: 224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255 – Used for multicast communication. Class E: 240.0.0.0 to 255.255.255.255 – Reserved for future use and experimental purposes. Example: ...

📡 Full Network Addressing Architecture for Hybrid Infrastructure 1. 🎯 Concept Overview This document defines a highly structured, hierarchical IP addressing and hostname convention for a multi-environment infrastructure that includes: Baremetal systems (e.g., Arch Linux on sitar-1-arch) Virtualized systems (e.g., Proxmox VMs, OPNsense appliances) Containerized services (e.g., Docker networks) Mobile-edge systems (e.g., Termux-based clients or gateways) Future cloud or experimental research subnets The network design is hierarchical, incremental, and self-documenting, using a w.x.y.z IP structure and FQDN conventions for every entity on the network. ...
