Everyday IPv4 Addresses and Host Routing
Well, after our gentle reintroduction to IPv4, we thought it might be helpful to take a look at some IPv4 addresses that are part of every node's host routing table. We will also chat about masks and what they do for us (network addressing and address space size) and go through an example processing a real life host routing table - binary and all.
Here is a whole bunch of related content - enjoy!
