Basically any IP address consists of two portions.One identifies the network and the other the device or the node within that network.
Here is a quick classification of various IP addresses:
Class A : It can support
126 network addresses, each containing
16 million nodes
Class B : This can support
16,000 network addresses, each containing
65,000 nodes.
Class C : It can support more than
2 million network addresses, each containing
254 nodes.
Class D : This class of IPs are
reserved for multicast purposes.
Class E : This class of IP addresses are
reserved for testing purposes and not assigned for public usage.
Hope this helps.
