[Solved] IPv4 Network ID & Host ID


Q1: Basically, yes. You should note though that there are different kinds of network addresses such as IP addresses, subnet addresses/prefixes, or MAC addresses. The exact meaning of each term depends on context.

Q2: If the IP address/mask is 184.19.39.34/16 then 184.19.0.0/16 is the subnet address. 39.34 is the host part of the IP address while 184.19 is the network part. The IP address is split into these parts as indicated by the CIDR value or the network mask (255.255.0.0 for /16).

Note that this split is only relevant for routing and on the last hop, so you don’t need to know the mask value of a far IP address.
