What is an IP Address?
• An IP address is a unique global address for a network
interface
• An IP address:
- is a 32 bit long identifier
- encodes a network number (network prefix)
and a host number
Dotted Decimal Notation
• IP addresses are written in a so-called dotted decimal
notation
• Each byte is identified by a decimal number in the range
[0..255]:
• Example:
1000111110000000 10001001 10010000

128.143.137.144
• The network prefix identifies a network and the host number
identifies a specific host (actually, interface on the network).
• How do we know how long the network prefix is?
– The network prefix used to be implicitly defined (class-
based addressing, A,B,C,D…)
– The network prefix now is flexible and is indicated by a
prefix/netmask (classless).
Network prefix and Host number
network prefixnetwork prefix host numberhost number
Example: ellington.cs.virginia.edu
•IP address is 128.143.137.144
– Is that enough??? -> No, need netmask or prefix
•Using Prefix notation IP address is: 128.143.137.144/16
– Network prefix is 16 bits long
•Network mask is: 255.255.0.0 or hex format: ffff0000
-----> Network id (IP address AND Netmask) is: 128.143.0.0
-----> Host number (IP address AND inverse of Netmask) is: 137.144

• Problem: Organizations have
multiple groups/entities within their
organization which are
independently managed. Each
would prefer to manage their own
IT facilities, i.e., own network
– Solution 1: Allocate to each
entity their own IP
network/domain
• Organization must own
multiple IP address
domains
• Expensive (each IP
domain costs money) and
cumbersome to manage
– Solution 2: Add another level
of hierarchy to the existing IP
addressing structure
• Split the host number portion of an IP address into a
subnet number and a (smaller) host number.
• Result is a 3-layer hierarchy
• Then:
• Subnets can be freely assigned within the organization
• Internally, subnets are treated as separate networks
• Subnet structure is not visible outside the organization

Advantages of Subnetting
• With subnetting, IP addresses use a N-layer hierarchy. E.g., a
3 layer hierarchy would be:
» Network (IP domain)
» Subnet
» Host
• Improves efficiency of IP addresses by not consuming an
entire address space for each physical network.
• Reduces router complexity. Since external routers do not
know about subnetting, the complexity of routing tables at
external routers is reduced.
• Note: Length of the subnet mask need not be identical at all
subnetworks.
Subnetting Example: Argon
Network without subnets
Same Network with Subnets
Same network with different subnetmasks
Subnetting Example
• An organization with 4 departements has the following IP
address space: 10.2.22.0/23. As the systems manager, you
are required to create subnets to accommodate the IT needs
of 4 departments. The subnets have to support to 200, 61, 55,
and 41 hosts respectively. What are the 4 subnet network
numbers?
• Solution:
– 10.2.22.0/24 (256 addresses > 200)
– 10.2.23.0/26 (64 addresses >61)
– 10.2.23.64/26 (64 addresses > 55)
– 10.2.23.128/26 (64 addresses > 41)
CIDR - Classless Interdomain Routing
• Goals:
– Restructure IP address assignments to increase efficiency
– Hierarchical routing aggregation to minimize route table
entries
Key Concept: The length of the network id (prefix) in IP
addresses is arbitrary/flexible and is defined by the network
hierarchy.
• Consequence:
– Routers use the IP address and the length of the prefix for
forwarding.
– All advertised IP addresses must include a prefix
CIDR Example
• CIDR notation of a network address:
192.0.2.0/18
• "18" says that the first 18 bits are the network part of the
address
• The network part is called the network prefix
• Example:
– Assume that a site requires an IP network domain that can support
1000 IP host addresses
– With CIDR, the network is assigned a continuous block of 1024 = 210
(>1000) addresses with a 32-10 = 22-bit long prefix
CIDR: Prefix Size vs. Host Space
CIDR Block Prefix # of Host Addresses
/27 32 hosts
/26 64 hosts
/25 128 hosts
/24 256 hosts
/23 512 hosts
/22 1,024 hosts
/21 2,048 hosts
/20 4,096 hosts
/19 8,192 hosts
/18 16,384 hosts
/17 32,768 hosts
/16 65,536 hosts
/15 131,072 hosts
/14 262,144 hosts
/13 524,288 hosts
CIDR and Address assignments
• Backbone ISPs obtain large blocks of IP address space and
then reallocate portions of their address blocks to their
customers.
Example:
• Assume that an ISP owns the address block 206.0.64.0/18,
which represents 16,384 (232-18
=214
) IP host addresses
• Suppose a client requires 800 host addresses
512=29
<800<1024=210
-> 32-10 = 22,
Assigning a /22 block, i.e., 206.0.68.0/22 -> gives a block
of 1,024 (210
) IP addresses to client.
Subnetting and Classless Inter Domain
Routing (CIDR)
• Subnetting is done by allocating some of the leading bits of
the host number to indicate a subnet number.
With subnetting, the network prefix and the subnet number
make up an extended network prefix.
The extended prefix can be expressed in terms of a
subnetmask or, using CIDR notation, by adding the length
of the extended subnetmask after the IP address.
 For example, for Argon, the first byte of the host number (the
third byte of the IP address) is used to denote the subnet
number.
128.143.0.0/16 is the IP address of the network (network
prefix /16),
128.143.137.0/24 is the IP address of the subnet,
128.143.137.144/32 is the IP address of the host, and
255.255.255.0 is the subnetmask of the host (or subnet
prefix /24))

206.0.64.0/18, 204.188.0.0/15,
209.88.232.0/21 to ISP K.
ISP K sends everything which

206.0.68.0/22 to Company X,
209.88.237.0/24 to ISP Y
Backbone routers do not know
anything about Company X, ISP

ISP K does not know about
Organizations Z1, Z2. ISP Y sends everything which matches
the prefix:
209.88.237.192/26 to Organizations Z1
209.88.237.0/26 to Organizations Z2
CIDR and Routing
• Aggregation of routing table entries:
– 128.143.0.0/16 and 128.142.0.0/16 can be represented as
128.142.0.0/15 at a router.
• ????
• Longest prefix match: Routing table lookup finds the routing
entry that matches the longest prefix
– Why????
E.g., What is the outgoing interface for
destination IP address: 128.143.137.0?
Prefix Interface/outg
oing link
128.143.128.0/17 interface #1
128.128.0.0/9 interface #2
128.0.0.0/4 interface #5

IPv6 - IP Version 6
• IP Version 6
– Is the successor to the currently used IPv4
– Specification completed in 1994
– Makes improvements to IPv4 (no revolutionary changes)
• One (not the only !) feature of IPv6 is a significant increase in
size of the IP address to 128 bits (16 bytes)
• IPv6 will solve – for the foreseeable future – the
problems with IP addressing

IPv6 vs. IPv4: Address Comparison
• IPv4 has a maximum of
232
≈ 4 billion addresses
• IPv6 has a maximum of
2128
= (232
)4
≈ 4 billion x 4 billion x 4 billion x 4 billion
addresses
Notation of IPv6 addresses
• Convention: The 128-bit IPv6 address is written as eight 16-
bit integers (using hexadecimal digits for each integer)
CEDF:BP76:3245:4464:FACE:2E50:3025:DF12
• Short notation:
• Abbreviations of leading zeroes:
CEDF:BP76:0000:0000:009E:0000:3025:DF12
 CEDF:BP76:0:0:9E :0:3025:DF12
• “:0000:0000” can be written as “::”
CEDF:BP76:0:0:FACE:0:3025:DF12  CEDF:BP76::FACE:0:3025:DF12
• IPv6 addresses derived from IPv4 addresses have different formats.
Convention allows to use IPv4 notation for the last 32 bits.
128.143.137.144 -> 0:0:0:0:0:ffff:808F:8990 or
128.143.137.144 -> 2002:808f:8990:0:0:0:0:0 (called 6to4 address)
IPv6 Provider-Based Addresses
• The first IPv6 addresses will be allocated to a provider-based
plan
• Type: Set to “010” for provider-based addresses
• Registry: identifies the agency that registered the address
The following fields have a variable length (recommeded length in “()”)
• Provider: Id of Internet access provider (16 bits)
• Subscriber: Id of the organization at provider (24 bits)
• Subnetwork: Id of subnet within organization (32 bits)
• Interface: identifies an interface at a node (48 bits)

More on IPv6 Addresses
• The provider-based addresses have a similar flavor as CIDR
addresses
• IPv6 provides address formats for:
– Unicast – identifies a single interface
– Multicast – identifies a group. Datagrams sent to a
multicast address are sent to all members of the group
– Anycast – identifies a group. Datagrams sent to an anycast
address are sent to one of the members in the group.

Example: • Assume that an ISP owns the address block 206.0.64.0/18, which represents 16,384 (232-18 =214 ) IP host addresses • Suppose a client requires 800 host addresses 512=29 <800<1024=210 -> 32-10 = 22, Assigning a /22 block, i.e., 206.0.68.0/22 -> gives a block of 1,024 (210 ) IP addresses to client.
  • 21. Subnetting and Classless Inter Domain Routing (CIDR) • Subnetting is done by allocating some of the leading bits of the host number to indicate a subnet number. With subnetting, the network prefix and the subnet number make up an extended network prefix. The extended prefix can be expressed in terms of a subnetmask or, using CIDR notation, by adding the length of the extended subnetmask after the IP address.  For example, for Argon, the first byte of the host number (the third byte of the IP address) is used to denote the subnet number. 128.143.0.0/16 is the IP address of the network (network prefix /16), 128.143.137.0/24 is the IP address of the subnet, 128.143.137.144/32 is the IP address of the host, and 255.255.255.0 is the subnetmask of the host (or subnet prefix /24))

ISP K sends everything which matches the prefix: 206.0.68.0/22 to Company X, 209.88.237.0/24 to ISP Y Backbone routers do not know anything about Company X, ISP Y, or Organizations Z1, Z2. ISP K does not know about Organizations Z1, Z2. ISP Y sends everything which matches the prefix: 209.88.237.192/26 to Organizations Z1 209.88.237.0/26 to Organizations Z2
  • 24. CIDR and Routing • Aggregation of routing table entries: – 128.143.0.0/16 and 128.142.0.0/16 can be represented as 128.142.0.0/15 at a router. • ???? • Longest prefix match: Routing table lookup finds the routing entry that matches the longest prefix – Why???? E.g., What is the outgoing interface for destination IP address: 128.143.137.0? Prefix Interface/outg oing link 128.143.128.0/17 interface #1 128.128.0.0/9 interface #2 128.0.0.0/4 interface #5 Routing table
  • 25. IPv6 - IP Version 6 • IP Version 6 – Is the successor to the currently used IPv4 – Specification completed in 1994 – Makes improvements to IPv4 (no revolutionary changes) • One (not the only !) feature of IPv6 is a significant increase in size of the IP address to 128 bits (16 bytes) • IPv6 will solve – for the foreseeable future – the problems with IP addressing

  • 27. IPv6 vs. IPv4: Address Comparison • IPv4 has a maximum of 232 ≈ 4 billion addresses • IPv6 has a maximum of 2128 = (232 )4 ≈ 4 billion x 4 billion x 4 billion x 4 billion addresses
  • 28. Notation of IPv6 addresses • Convention: The 128-bit IPv6 address is written as eight 16- bit integers (using hexadecimal digits for each integer) CEDF:BP76:3245:4464:FACE:2E50:3025:DF12 • Short notation: • Abbreviations of leading zeroes: CEDF:BP76:0000:0000:009E:0000:3025:DF12  CEDF:BP76:0:0:9E :0:3025:DF12 • “:0000:0000” can be written as “::” CEDF:BP76:0:0:FACE:0:3025:DF12  CEDF:BP76::FACE:0:3025:DF12 • IPv6 addresses derived from IPv4 addresses have different formats. Convention allows to use IPv4 notation for the last 32 bits. 128.143.137.144 -> 0:0:0:0:0:ffff:808F:8990 or 128.143.137.144 -> 2002:808f:8990:0:0:0:0:0 (called 6to4 address)
  • 29. IPv6 Provider-Based Addresses • The first IPv6 addresses will be allocated to a provider-based plan • Type: Set to “010” for provider-based addresses • Registry: identifies the agency that registered the address The following fields have a variable length (recommeded length in “()”) • Provider: Id of Internet access provider (16 bits) • Subscriber: Id of the organization at provider (24 bits) • Subnetwork: Id of subnet within organization (32 bits) • Interface: identifies an interface at a node (48 bits) Registry ID Registry ID Provider ID Provider ID 010010 Subscriber ID Subscriber ID Interface ID Interface ID Subnetwork ID Subnetwork ID
  • 30. More on IPv6 Addresses • The provider-based addresses have a similar flavor as CIDR addresses • IPv6 provides address formats for: – Unicast – identifies a single interface – Multicast – identifies a group. Datagrams sent to a multicast address are sent to all members of the group – Anycast – identifies a group. Datagrams sent to an anycast address are sent to one of the members in the group.
