Networking contd

Network size

• sample

ip: 192.168.0.11
sm: 255.255.255.0
nid: 192.168.0
hid: 11

• All the devices in the network will have same network id i.e network id is fixed
• Network size => 2 ^ (number of host id bits) – 2

hid = 1 octet = 8 bits
network size  = 2^8 - 2 = 256 - 2 = 254

• the two which we have subtracted represents two ips
  • zero (192.168.0.0) => network id
  • 255 (192.168.0.255) => broadcast address
• To design networks we have two approaches
  • classful networking
    
  • classless interdomain routing (CIDR)
• Figure out number of bits for host id and for network id

# a network of 200 devices

2^n - 2  ~= 200
n = 8 ( number of zeros)
N = 32 - 8 = 24
SM: 11111111.11111111.11111111.00000000
    255.255.255.0

# a network of 500 devices
2^n -2  ~= 500
n = 9
N = 32 - 9 = 23
SM: 11111111.11111111.11111110.00000000
     255.255.254.0

# a network of 25000 devices
2^n - 2 ~ = 25000
n = 15
N  = 32 -15 = 17
SM: 11111111.11111111.10000000.00000000
    255.255.128.0

# a network of size 32 devics
2^n-2 ~= 32
n=6
N = 32-6 = 26
SM: 11111111.11111111.11111111.11000000
    255.255.255.192

# a network of size 200000 devices
2 ^n -2 ~ = 200000
n = 18
N = 32 - 18 = 14
SM: 11111111.11111100.00000000.00000000
     255.252.0.0

• Public network: This is accessible from internet
• private network: This is private network meant for internal use. For this there are reserved ip ranges
  

CIDR Notation

• The CIDR notation is represented as x.x.x.x/N where N = number of 1's i.e. network id
• Expand CIDR
