Understanding IP Addressing and CIDR Charts. Every device connected to the Internet needs to have an identifier. Internet Protocol (IP) addresses are the numerical addresses used to identify a particular piece of hardware connected to the Internet. The two most common versions of IP in use today are Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) and Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6). Both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses come from finite pools of numbers. For IPv4, this pool is 32-bits (2 32) in size and contains 4,294,967,296 IPv4 addresses.
