Public IP Addresses

What is Public IP address

Public IP Addresses (also known as Static IP Addresses) are IP addresses that are visible to the public.Because these ip addresses are public, they allow other people to know about and access your computer, like a Web server.In some cases, you do not want people to access your computer or you want to restrict certain individuals from accessing your computer or server.

Private IP Addresses

What is Private IP address

These addresses can be used on a private network, but they’re not routable through the public Internet. This not only creates a measure of much-needed security, but it also conveniently saves valuable IP address space.

Current Private IP addresses as follows

Class A

10.0.0.0 through 10.255.255.255

Class B

172.16.0.0 through 172.31.255.255

Class C

192.168.0.0 through 192.168.255.255

  1. This is perhaps not a really vital distinction but a Public IP Address is NOT automatically a Static IP Address.

    On my home DSL connection, for example, I have a Dynamic IP Address - it is assigned by my ISP and will sometimes change (hence Dynamic) but it is the IP address visible to the world (Public) for all computers on my network.

    Within my network, of course, Class C addresses are used and information is routed to the appropriate machine using those addresses by my router.

    I would say that the Public IP Address is the one broadcast or transmitted with request packets so that information may be routed accurately to your access point, router, or stand-alone computer/workstation; or broadcast so that your access point, router, or stand-alone computer/workstation may be located by other machines/services on the public network or internet.

  2. Public IP address can be static or dynamic, depending on what you have applied with your ISP.

    Most of the case a static public IP is used if the purpose is to have a fixed IP address (Web Server, FTP Server and etc.).

    The private IP address above is true and for standard use your private network must follow these IP addressing.

  9. sir thanks for publishing my comment though not useful.

  10. In my opinion I think most of you have skipped over a very important detail. Private IP addresses are not Internet route-able and therefore cannot be used as public addresses. This is why home and business type routers all support what is called NAT, network address translation. The outside interface (public facing) generally has a Public IP given to you by your ISP (Internet Service Provider). This IP address is not required to be public and can be private but there has to be NAT somewhere before actual Internet access is established.

  11. sir please let me know about the public ip address and how they are purchased from isp and from where isp purchased these ip address.

  29. Hi, Is it legally to use IP addresses 192.168.x.x within ur laptop to configure and practice for learning purposes. Please confirm. Cheers.

  30. A public IP address can be static or dynamic. A static public IP address does not change and is used primarily for hosting webpages i mean (more clearly)by web servers while a dynamic public IP address is chosen from a pool of available addresses and changes each time one connects to the Internet..!!! Most people have a dynamic public IP address..ISP assign the public ip address to the computers connected to the dsl modem.
    public ip address are unique while private ip address are not..!!!
    thanks..!! have a nice day..:)
