Internet Addresses
Internet addresses are used extensively by LAN and WAN products as well as Internet
Services.
An internet address (often referred to as the IP address) consists of two parts:
Network address.
Host address.
The network address identifies the network. The host address identifies a node within the
network. A network address is concatenated with a host address to form the internet address
and to uniquely identify a node within a network.
