TCP/IP Addressing
TCP/IP addressing uses a unique Internet Protocol (IP) address for a specific node
in a TCP/IP network. Each node on a network is known as a
host
and has a unique
address.
You can assign your own addresses within your own network. To connect to the
Internet, the InterNIC assigns your network addresses and domain names. For
more information about how to contact the InterNIC registration services, see
Table 1 on page 4.
TCP/IP addressing is comprised of two parts: The TCP/IP address itself and the
subnet mask. The TCP/IP address is a 32-bit integer that contains both a network
portion and a host portion. This address is usually expressed in the decimal form
