Network and Broadcast Addresse

On a certain network the IP addresses are reserved and they cannot be assigned to whatever device we required. These addresses which are reserved are included in the network addresses, where it identifies the broadcast addresses and the network also, which helps to broadcast the data and the packets to the devices in the network.

Where in the IP addresses which have the binary 0s host positions is then reserved for the network address and therefore consider A class network which has 10.0.0.0 as a IP address in the network which contains the host as a 10.1.2.3. And then the router hosts the destination for the network location and consider B class network which had an IP address as 172.16.0.0 then it shows as
Network Address

In this the decimal numbers will fill the two octets in the first of a Class B are the address assigned and the last two octets which contain 0s because those 16 bits are of the hosts numbers are used to the devices which are connected to the network when consider the IP address 172.16.0.0 is which was registered in the network address and it will not use any address to the device which was attached to it and to that it can be explained as considering an example 172.16.0.0 and this will be 172.16.16.1 and in this IP address the 172.16 will be the network address portion and 16.1 will be address host portion.

Network Broadcast Address:

And if an existing IP address is connected to and device tend to communicate with other devices which are in the network it sets the destination address to all 1s (255.255.255.255) and there the transfer of information or data has been done. And this sort of the address can be used in the example by various hosts and which do not know their number of the network and it will ask the some other server for the number by the source of (RARP) Reverse Address Resolution Protocol or by the means of (DHCP) Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. In this form of broadcasting the packets are never capable of the being routed, due to the RFC 1812 which prohibits the data to be forwarded in the whole networks broadcasting. And due to this issue all the networks broad casting are called as a local broadcast due to the stays in the LAN or VLAN segments

The network ID used to enables the router to put the packet to the network segment and then the host ID helps the router to deliver the layer 2 frame, which will encapsulate the packet data to a host on the network. Due to this the IP address is mapped to the exact MAC address which was required to the process for the layer 2 process in the system router and to its address frame.
