Within an isolated network, you can assign IP addresses at random as long as each one is unique. However,
connecting a private network to the Internet requires using registered IP addresses (called Internet addresses) to
avoid duplicates.
The four numbers in an IP address are used in different ways to identify a particular network and a host on that
network. Three regional Internet registries -- ARIN, RIPE NCC and APNIC -- assign Internet addresses from the following
three classes.
Class A - supports 16 million hosts on each of 126 networks
Class B - supports 65,000 hosts on each of 16,000 networks
Class C - supports 254 hosts on each of 2 million networks
The number of unassigned Internet addresses is running out, so a new classless scheme called CIDR is gradually
replacing the system based on classes A, B, and C and is tied to adoption of IPv6.
