    Classes A, B, and C IP addresses are used for unicast traffic. Class A addresses have network IDs in the first 8 bits and host IDs in the last 24 bits. Class B addresses have network IDs in the first 16 bits and host IDs in the last 16 bits. Class C addresses have network IDs in the first 24 bits and host IDs in the last 8 bits. Class D addresses, ranging from 224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255, are used for multicast traffic and allow one device to communicate with a group of devices.

    Address Classes

    Classes A, B, and C are used for Unicast traffics.


    A. Class A Address
    Range: 1.0.0.0 to 126.255.255.255
    Network 0 (0.1.1.1) is reserved for default network
    Network 127 (127.0.0.1) is reserved for loopback
    Network and Host Portions: The First 8 bits denotes the network, the next 24 bits
    denotes the Host.

    B. Class B Addresses
    Range: 128.0.0.0 to 191.255.255.255
    Network and Host Portions: The First 16 bits denotes the network, the next 16 bits
    denotes the Host.

    C. Class C Addresses
    Range: 192.0.0.0 to 223.255.255.255
    Network and Host Portions: The First 24 bits denotes the network, the next 8 bits
    denotes the Host.

    D. Class D Addresses
    Used for multicast traffics.
    Multicast implies that one device is talking to a group of devices, rather than one
    device talking to one device.
    Range: 224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255
    224.0.0.x are known as Link Local Multicasts
    OSPF Routing Protocol uses 224.0.0.5 and 224.0.0.6

    E. Class E Addresses
    Reserved addresses for testing and other purposes.
    Range: 240.0.0.0 to 255.255.255.255
