An IP address is organized hierarchically in four parts, called octets, each separated by a period. The first octet contains the most significant bits, representing the network segment of the address, and the remaining three octets contain the host segment of the address. Each octet consists of eight bits, which can be expressed as decimal numbers between 0 and 255. The number of networks, or first octets, is determined by the address class.
