[1] : Jargon File (4.3.1, 29 Jun 2001)

internet address n. 1. techspeak an absolute network address of the
   form foo@bar.baz, where foo is a user name, bar is a sitename, and baz
   is a `domain' name, possibly including periods itself. contrast with
   bang path; see also the network and network address. all internet
   machines and most uucp sites can now resolve these addresses, thanks to
   a large amount of behind-the-scenes magic and pd software written
   since 1980 or so. see also bang path, domainist. 2. more loosely,
   any network address reachable through internet; this includes bang
   path addresses and some internal corporate and government networks.

   reading internet addresses is something of an art. here are the four
   most important top-level functional internet domains followed by a
   selection of geographical domains:

 com
       commercial organizations
  
 edu
       educational institutions
  
 gov
       u.s. government civilian sites
  
 mil
       u.s. military sites
  
   note that most of the sites in the com and edu domains are in the u.s.
   or canada.

 us
       sites in the u.s. outside the functional domains
  
 su
       sites in the ex-soviet union see kremvax.
  
 uk
       sites in the united kingdom
  
   within the us domain, there are subdomains for the fifty states, each
   generally with a name identical to the state's postal abbreviation.
   within the uk domain, there is an ac subdomain for academic sites and a
   co domain for commercial ones. other top-level domains may be divided up
   in similar ways.

internet address
     
         ip address, tcp/ip address the 32-bit host
        address defined by the internet protocol in std 5, rfc
        791.  it is usually represented in dotted decimal notation.
     
        a hosts's internet address is sometimes related to its
        ethernet address.  the internet address is usually expressed
        in dot notation, e.g. 128.121.4.5.  the address can be split
        into a network number or network address and a host
        number unique to each host on the network and sometimes also
        a subnet address.  the way the address is split depends on
        its "class", a, b or c as determined by the high address bits:
     
        class a - high bit 0, 7-bit network number, 24-bit host
        number.  n1.a.a.a 0 <= n1 <= 127
     
        class b - high 2 bits 10, 14-bit network number, 16-bit host
        number.  n1.n2.a.a 128 <= n1 <= 191
     
        class c - high 3 bits 110, 21-bit network number, 8-bit host
        number.  n1.n2.n3.a 192 <= n1 <= 223
     
        the internet address must be translated into an ethernet
        address by either arp or constant mapping.
     
        the term is sometimes used incorrectly to refer to a host's
        fully qualified domain name.
