IP Addressing, Subnetting, and Routing 
This module covers IP addressing subnetting and routing. The table used during the decimal to binary conversion process is also helpful for defining classes of addresses and performing the steps necessary for subnetting. Lesson 1 provides a detailed look at IP address classes A B C and D. Also included in this lesson are updates about
IPv6 a newer
128-bit IP addressing scheme and
