Logical IP Subnet (LIS)
Set of interfaces with common address prefix
Prefix
1 physical network
1 logical IP network
Logical and Physical Networks à All interfaces with the same address prefix must be connected to the same physical network
à All interfaces of the same physical network must have the same address prefix
What does this imply?
A Network Identifier
Host Network
à Network part à Host part
Address prefix is unique to a given (physical/logical) network

Does It Come for Free?
à Address space waste à Addressing efficiency
à Commonly below 25%
ADDRESS FORMAT
IP Addresses
à 32 bits (4 bytes) à Represented in dotted
decimal notation
à Each byte expressed as a decimal number separated by a dot
à 12.4.56.38 193.129.3.215 à Each element from O to 255
How Large is the Prefix? à Fixed size is too limited à Three sizes:
à Class A: 1 byte à Class B: 2 bytes à Class C: 3 bytes
Check the first byte!
Class A à E.g., 84.24O.2O.1
à Max 128 network prefixes à Max 16M host addresses

Class B
à E.g., 2O3.24O.2O.1
à Max 2M network prefixes à Max 255 host addresses

Class C
And It Goes On … à Class D à E.g., 225.24O.2O.1
à Used for multicast à Class E: anycast à Not associated to interfaces

Reserved Host Field Values
à All ones: directed broadcast à E.g., 2O3.24O.2O.255 à Routed à Cannot be associated
to an interface
à All zeros: the LIS à E.g., 2O3.24O.2O.O à Could be associated to an interface
Available Host Identifiers
n bit host field ê
2n-2 available identifiers
Possibly 2n-1 if network address is associated to an interface
Reserved Addresses
à All ones: limited broadcast à 255.255.255.255 à Not received by all stations
à Not routed à This host: O.O.O.O à Loopback: 127.*.*.*
NETMASK
Issues With Classful Addressing
à Lack of flexibility à Low addressing efficiency
à Centralized address space assignment
Netmask and Classless Addressing
à Associated to IP address à Marks boundary of network and host parts
à Any size network/host part

Subnetting and Centralized Address Assignment à Addresses assigned to organization in natural prefixes
à One large set of addresses à Organizations use subnetting to devise a prefixes for each network
