Ip Address and its classes

About this post:
        Hi this is ravi again, I am now learning IBM Tivoli storage manager in an institute, while learning fundamentals for the course i searched for this topic called IP ADDRESS AND ITS CLASSESS  and another reason for searching for this is: I used to see different types of ip addresses in different places, I found the ipaddresses in my company as on type and other  in my institute.
so in the below artical i would like to explain the ip address and its different classes Note: i am not really good in my English.......so comment if there are any changes to be made
--> What is an ip address?
     An IP(Internet Protocol) address is an unique identification number given to a particular device or node present in a computer network. The ip address is stored in the memory in binary form but we can see that in decimal values each representing 8 bits, the range of each bit is 0 to 255 known as octets and these decimal values are separated by dot. so this notation is called "dotted decimal notation" .
 Ex: 151.124.200.222.
 In binary form it is 
      151       .    124         .      200       .      222  
 10010111 . 01111100 . 11001000 . 11011110
Every IP address has two parts 
 1)Network address

 2)Node/device  address
