Network Address
                       - it is more commonly known as IP (Internet Protocol) Address.
                       - it is the numeric address of a computer connected to the network.
                       - is a set of numbers, called as "octets" or "dotted decimal" notation, that identifies any network device.

 Example:
IP Versions
1. IPv4- IP version 4- is the standard version
  2. IPv6- IP version 6- is the advanced version


IPv4- Internet Protocol version 4
          IPv4 addresses are canonically represented in dotted- decimal notation, which consists of four decimal numbers, each ranging from 0 to 255, separated by dots, e.g., 172.16.254.1. Each part represents a group of 8 bits (octet) of the address.

Binary numbers ( 0 and 1 )- the only numbers that the computer understands

1 byte=8 bits
4 bytes=32 bits


Classes of IP Addresses

 Class A- 1 to 126
Class B- 128 to 191
Class C- 192 to 223
Class D- 224 to 239
Class E- 240 to 255

 Note:127- loop back function of a network
         Class D- is for multicast
         Class E- reserved for future or experimental purposes
Typical home networks use IP addresses that start with 192.168.
