IPv4
The fourth version of the Internet Protocol, using a 32-bit address space typically expressed in dotted-decimal notation. It is a foundational protocol for current internet communication.
Timeline (last 90 days)
IPv4 uses 32-bit addresses, usually represented as four decimal numbers from 0 to 255 (dotted decimal).
CIDR was intended to replace traditional classful IP addresses (Class A, B, C) in order to alleviate IPv4 address exhaustion and reduce routing table size.
Using a public IPv4 address is necessary for the external accessibility of n8n's Webhook triggers and API calls.
The protocol number is an 8-bit field in the IPv4 header uniformly assigned by IANA, used to identify the type of upper-layer protocol.
The author designed an ICMP/TCP Hub module that distributes data flows above the IP layer interface by protocol number: ICMP uses protocol number 1, TCP uses protocol number 6, and UDP uses protocol number 17.
The capabilities provided by IP Functions include IP address validity verification and format parsing, CIDR subnet containment determination, unified handling of IPv4 and IPv6, and comparison and sorting of IP address ranges.
Determining whether an IP belongs to a given CIDR network segment requires converting the IP to a 32-bit (IPv4) or 128-bit (IPv6) binary integer, then performing a bitwise AND operation with the subnet mask before comparing the network address.
