Objectives Describe how IP Addressing is implemented in the

LAN

Subnet a given network to allow for efficient use of IP address space

Explain how Network Address Translation (NAT) and Port Address Translation (PAT) are used in a network


Running out of Space?

As we learned in the first course IP addresses are in short supply due to an initial design that just did not anticipate the number of Internet users we have today.

Subnetting, the dividing of a network into smaller networks, provides us with a short-term solution to the long-term problem of not enough IP addresses.

How serious is the problem of not enough addresses?


Running out of Space?

China, for example, has fewer addresses than Stanford University. Why?

When addresses were first being distributed, Stanford (one of the original universities) kept large numbers for themselves.

What will be the long-term solution?

IPv6 - an addressing scheme with 128 bits versus the current 32-bit addresses we have today. Asia may be the first continent to adopt IPv6 on a large scale. Asia has the most severe shortage, a growing population, and no way to get additional IPv4 addresses.


And Now for Something Completely Different!

IPv6 and describe the motivation for migrating from IPv4 to IPv6


Summary

IP addressing can be tailored to the needs of the network design through the use of custom subnet masks.

Classless subnetting gives classful IP addressing schemes more flexibility through the use of variable length subnet masks.

Network Address Translation (NAT) is a way to shield private addresses from outside users.

Port Address Translation (PAT) translates multiple local addresses to a single global IP address, maximizing the use of both private and public IP addresses.
