Internally, IPv4 addresses are represented by a 32bit number. To make it easier to work with them a different notation is used to enter and to display IPv4 addresses. Most commonly IPv4 address have the form ''a.b.c.d'', with each letter representing an 8 bit number, with ''a'' representing the highest 8 bits of the address and the ''d'' the lowest 8 bits. In other words, an IPv4 address is a sequence of four numbers, each between 0 and 255, separated by dots. Examples for valid IPv4 addresses are ''127.56.24.12'' or ''213.239.222.5''. By contrast, sequences such as ''213.256.222.5'' or ''127.24.12'' or ''127.56.24.12.3'' are not valid addresses. | |||
