Term
Name the two hierarchical parts of the 32-bit IP address.
Definition

Term
What 32-bit address is used in IP addressing to indicate which portion of an IP is Network and which portion is Host?

Definition
Request For Comments. A document series used for communicating info about the Internet. Most document protocol specs.

What is RFC 1918?
Definition
A standard that reserves several ranges of addresses within each of the classes A, B, and C used for private address ranges.
