In IPv4, which uses 4x bytes or 32 bits, there is a theoretical maximum of 4,294,967,296 IP addresses. In IPv6, which attempts to resolve the address shortage, uses 128bits, giving a maximum of ~ 340,282,366,920,938,463,463,374,607,431,770,000,000 addresses.

What is a client station?
A client station is a place where computer users set up. This is based on the collection of IP addresses.
Which two statements describe classful IP addresses?
The number of bits used to identify the hosts is fixed by the class of the network. Up to 24 bits can make up the host portion of a Class C address.
What is Difference between static and dynamic pages?
Just what is the Difference Between a Static and a Dynamic IP Address you ask?Well the IP address from your ISP is assigned in just one of two ways:Set to an IP address which is unchanged for months or years at a time. This is what is called a static IP address.Set to an IP which is only good for a limited time, and which is changed according to the policy set by your ISP's DHCP server. This is what is called a dynamic IP address.Because a static IP can be relied on for an indefinite period, some networking software requires a static IP.ISPs usually charge extra for static IPs.Your ISP may not be willing to give customers static IP addresses at all.Dynamic IPs are used in large networks where computers are frequently reconfigured, or where a limited number of IP address are available to share between many computers.
How can you check your bandwidth?
Use SolarWinds Bandwidth monitoring tool..It Identifies which users, applications, and protocolsare consuming the most network bandwidth and highlights the IP addresses of the top talkers on the network.
What are the advantages of Class A network over Class B and Class C?
A class A network has more IP addresses - you can connect more hosts on it.A class C network has 256 IP addresses (of which you can use 254), a class B network about 65,000, a class A network about 17 million.More specifically, a Class A network can have 16,777,214 usable host addresses per network whereas a Class B network can have 65,6534 usable host addresses per network.Another advantage is the ridiculous amounts of subnetting you can do. For example, in a Class C network, you can't borrow the same number of bits as you can with a Class A because you only have the last octet to work with for the host portion. With a Class A network, the last three octets are the entire host portion, so you have 24 bits to work with for subnetting (technically 23 since you can't subnet down through all available bits and have no bits left for hosts =p). Due to the amount of subnets you can have and the 16+ million hosts you can potentially have on the same network, Class A networks are reserved for super big applications (ISPs and gigantic companies).
The IP addresses available to the Internet are called?
Public IP addresses
What are IP addresses that are not assigned from an available pool of IP addresses?
They are static.
Can a new IP addressing scheme increase the number of available IP addresses?
Yes and that is called IPV6
How many IP addresses are there around the world?
It is literally impossible to calculate how many IP addresses there are around the world. The number people connecting online and offline are always changing so the number IP addresses are always changing.
How are IP addresses available to the Internet classified?
public
Why are IP addresses running out?
Every website must have an IP, the number of websites is increasing rapidly thereby the IP addresses are running out
3 Why do the number of possible IP address decrease as you step down from Class A to Class C IP addresses?
The number of possible IP address decreases as one steps down from Class A to Class C IP addresses because the availability of usable hosts. There is a decrease in the number of usable hosts from Class A to Class C IP addresses.
How are IP addresses assigned to hosts?
Usually, in dynamic addressing models, the host obtains its IP address via DHCP - an administrator sets up a pool of available addresses in an IP range (called a scope) and gives them to clients as they ask for addresses.
What do IP numbers represent?
An IP number is the unique address by which you can reach an individual computer. At least, that was the original idea of IP addresses; if you want to know how this has changed in recent days, do some research on the following topics: IP address exhaustion; private IP addresses; public IP addresses; NAT.
Where do you get your subnet number from?
You (the network administrator) decide what subnet you need to use, depending on the available IP addresses, and how you want to divide your network into subnets (in case you use subnets).You (the network administrator) decide what subnet you need to use, depending on the available IP addresses, and how you want to divide your network into subnets (in case you use subnets).You (the network administrator) decide what subnet you need to use, depending on the available IP addresses, and how you want to divide your network into subnets (in case you use subnets).You (the network administrator) decide what subnet you need to use, depending on the available IP addresses, and how you want to divide your network into subnets (in case you use subnets).
Describe the size differences in IPv4 and IPv6 IP addresses?
IPv4 is 32 bits wide, or about 4 billion IP addresses; while IPv6 is 128 bits wide, or about 3.4x10^38 IP addresses. The number of addresses between the two has a difference of 79x10^27 times bigger. It is calculated that the world's energy output combined could only support using 1/3rd of the available addresses in this address space.
A router that has 4 ports will require how many IP addresses?
It depends on how many interfaces of router are connected to other networks. If a router is connected to two network, it will have 2 IP addresses. In a router having 4 ports it can connect to maximum 4 networks. In this case it will have 4 IP addresses.
