What is a Network Address?

A network address is also known as the numerical network part of an IP address. This is used to distinguish a network that has its own hosts and addresses. For example, in the IP address 192.168.1.0, the network address is192.168.1.

Examples of Network IP Address

The Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) reserves the following IP address blocks for use as private IP addresses:

• 10.0.0.0 to 10.255.255.255.
• 172.16.0.0 to 172.31.255.255.
• 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.255.

IP Versions :

IPv4 - Internet Protocol Version 4 

Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) is the fourth version of the Internet Protocol (IP). It is one of the core protocols of standards-based internetworking methods in the Internet, and was the first version deployed for production in the ARPANET in 1983. It still routes most Internet traffic today,^[1] despite the ongoing deployment of a successor protocol, IPv6. IPv4 is described inIETF publication RFC 791 (September 1981), replacing an earlier definition (RFC 760, January 1980).

IPv6 - Internet Protocol Version 6 

Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) is the most recent version of the Internet Protocol (IP), the communications protocol that provides an identification and location system for computers on networks and routes traffic across the Internet. IPv6 was developed by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) to deal with the long-anticipated problem of IPv4 address exhaustion. IPv6 is intended to replace IPv4.^[1] IPv6 became a Draft Standard in December 1998, and became an Internet Standard on 14 July 2017.^[2]
