What is Anycast DNS?
An introduction to Anycast DNS
IP (Internet Protocol) addresses are fundamental to the operation of computer networks. These numerical identifiers are used to route traffic across the internet, ensuring that data reaches the correct destination. There are two primary versions of IP addresses in use today: IPv4 and IPv6. Let's explore what they are and how they differ.
IPv4 is the fourth version of the Internet Protocol, and it's the most widely used today.
IPv4 addresses are categorized into five classes (A to E), based on the leading bits of the address. Classes A, B, and C are used for different network sizes, while Class D is for multicast and Class E is reserved for experimental purposes.
Subnetting is a method used to divide an IP network into sub-networks, allowing for more efficient routing and organization within large networks.
IPv6 is the latest version of the Internet Protocol, designed to address the limitations of IPv4, primarily its limited address space.
IP addresses are the backbone of internet communication, enabling devices to send and receive data across networks. While IPv4 remains prevalent, its limitations have led to the creation and gradual adoption of IPv6. The transition to IPv6 is ongoing and represents a significant step toward a more scalable and secure internet.
