3.1.4 Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)

The Internet Protocol specifies the format of packets, also called datagrams, and the addressing scheme.

Most networks combine IP with a higher-level protocol called TCP, which establishes a virtual connection be-

tween a destination and a source.

abled.

IP Address

An identifier for a computer or device on a TCP/IP network. The

format of an IP address

is a 32-bit numeric address written as four numbers separated

by periods. Each number

can be 0 to 255.

Subnet Mask

A mask used to determine what subnet an IP address belongs

to. An IP address has two

components, the network address and the host address. The

first two numbers represent the Class B network address, and

the second two numbers identify a particular host on

this network.

Default Gateway The default node on a network that serves as an entrance to

another network. In enterprises, the gateway is the computer

that routes the traffic from a workstation to the outside network

that is serving the Web pages. In homes, the gateway is the ISP
