Computer Science Assignment #7 - IP Addresses

Due Tuesday, October 12, 2010

The Internet is a global network of interconnected computer networks. What effectively defines the Internet is the set of protocols that it uses to govern communications among the sites on this network.

IP (short for Internetwork Protocol) governs (among other things) the addressing of sites on the Internet. The standard that is most commonly used is IPv4 (Internetwork Protocol version 4). IPv6 has been developed and provides alarger possible set of Internet addresses and will eventually replace IPv4.

IPv4 uses 4-byte (or 32-bit) addresses. These correspond to the names that we are more used to seeing.

Below you will find a series of IP addresses. If you type them in your web browser, you should be able to access the web site to which these correspond. Write down the URLs that correspond to these IP addresses:
