In the previous installment on UDP broadcasting and service discovery, the basics of both were explored, including an implementation in the form of NyanSD and its protocol. Contained in the comment ...

Today, the standard methods for moving the network/host address boundary are variable-length subnet masking (VLSM) for host addressing and routing inside a routing domain, and classless interdomain ...

A subnet mask is a number that specifies which parts of an IP address represent the host and network portions of the address. These masks are 32 bits in IPv4 networks and 128 bits in IPv6 networks. A ...

Subnetting is a fundamental part of network architecture and design. Network administrators create subnets to divide the network into smaller segments and gain granular control of the infrastructure.

George Ou explains IP subnetting using his own graphical approach. It’s a great primer for students and a nice refresher for others. IP subnetting is a fundamental subject that’s critical for any IP ...

In addition to IPv4 (often written as just IP), there is IP version 6 (IPv6). IPv6 was developed as IPng (“IP:The Next Generation” because the developers were supposedly fans of the TV show “Star Trek ...

Yes. In fact, this is a good place to do it. Internet addresses (called IP addresses for short) are node addresses that identify their location within the Internet. IP addresses play an important role ...

Broadcast and video production systems are moving rapidly into the IP realm. Therefore, understanding IP basics is now part of the engineer’s toolkit. To understand how IP works, we need to understand ...

Global Unicast Addressing, Routing, and Subnetting: This section introduces the concepts behind unicast IPv6 addresses, IPv6 routing, and subnetting using IPv6, all in comparison to IPv4. IPv6 ...
