An IPv4 address is 32 bits, the pieces are simply the bytes in the address written in decimal.– vonbrandFeb 27, 2013 at 13:29

for reference, its also called an octet.– SirexFeb 27, 2013 at 23:33

It is a 32-bit unsigned integer, converted into four 8-bit unsigned integers so that humans can read it more easily. The numbers are represented most-significant-bit-first.

1Which is why you can
ping 3232264220and it will work (well, if you have a192.168.112.28on your network anyway) Feb 27, 2013 at 4:46 -
thanks for the reply, yes.. they are 32-bit unsigned integers. but i want to know what exactly those integers represent. ex: 192/11000000 -represents a port or something– chamz33Feb 27, 2013 at 5:31

1I don't understand what you're trying to ask there. Ports are not part of an IP address, and that example doesn't correspond to anything. Feb 27, 2013 at 5:33

IP address consists of 32 bits, it is represented as 4 octets of numbers from 0-255 instead of binary form. For example, the IP address: 192.168.112.28 in binary form is 11000000.10101000.01110000.0011100
