IPv4 Address Classes & Types

Historically, IP addresses were divided into "Classes" to manage the available address space before the introduction of CIDR. Below are the standard IPv4 classes and reserved private IP ranges used in modern networking.

Standard IPv4 Classes

Class First Octet Range Default Subnet Mask Primary Use Case
Class A1 - 126255.0.0.0 (/8)Massive corporate networks & ISPs
Class B128 - 191255.255.0.0 (/16)Medium to large organizations
Class C192 - 223255.255.255.0 (/24)Small business and home networks
Class D224 - 239N/AReserved strictly for Multicasting
Class E240 - 255N/AReserved for Experimental use

Private IP Ranges (RFC 1918)

These addresses are not routable on the public internet and can be used freely by anyone on their internal local area networks (LAN).

Network Class IP Address Range CIDR Block Number of Available IPs
Class A Private10.0.0.0 – 10.255.255.25510.0.0.0/816,777,216
Class B Private172.16.0.0 – 172.31.255.255172.16.0.0/121,048,576
Class C Private192.168.0.0 – 192.168.255.255192.168.0.0/1665,536

Special Use IPv4 Addresses

Address Range Name / Designation Purpose
127.0.0.0/8Loopback (Localhost)Used for testing local network interfaces (e.g., 127.0.0.1).
169.254.0.0/16APIPA (Link-Local)Auto-assigned when a device cannot reach a DHCP server.
0.0.0.0/8Current NetworkOften used as a default route designation in routing tables.
255.255.255.255/32Global BroadcastUsed to broadcast messages to all hosts on the local network segment.
