binary |
| The "base two" system of numbers, that uses only two digits, 0 |
|
| and 1, to represent all numbers. In binary, the number 1 is written |
|
| as 1, 2 as 10, 3 as 11, 4 as 100, etc. Although expressed as |
|
| decimal numbers for convenience, IP addresses in actual use |
|
| are binary numbers; e.g., the IP address 209.191.4.240 is |
|
| 11010001.10111111.00000100.11110000 in binary. See also bit, |
|
| IP address, network mask. |
