Detailed explanation-1: -If the first two octets were different, then the IP address might belong to a completely different network administrator. The Internet Protocol uses this hierarchical addressing scheme to make it easier to route messages from source to destination.
Detailed explanation-2: -Most Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) routing is based on a two-level hierarchical routing in which an IP address is divided into a network portion and a host portion. Gateways use only the network portion until an IP datagram reaches a gateway that can deliver it directly.
Detailed explanation-3: -There are four different types of IP addresses: public, private, static, and dynamic.
Detailed explanation-4: -Routers are special because they have two IP addresses. An IP address is assigned to each of the router’s two “interfaces”. The first router interface is called the WAN (Wide Area Network) interface. This is the side of the router that faces the Internet and has a public IP address.
