This structure permitted a maximum of 256 network identifiers, which was quickly found to be inadequate. To overcome this limit, the most-significant address octet was redefined in 1981 to create network classes, in a system which later became known as classful networking.
IPv4 was the first version deployed for production on SATNET in 1982 and on the ARPANET in January 1983.
In March 1982, the US Department of Defense declared TCP/IP as the standard for all military computer networking. ==Purpose== The Internet Protocol is the protocol that defines and enables internetworking at the internet layer of the Internet Protocol Suite.
IPv4 was the first version deployed for production on SATNET in 1982 and on the ARPANET in January 1983.
In addition to the three classes for addressing hosts, Class D was defined for multicast addressing and Class E was reserved for future applications. Dividing existing classful networks into subnets began in 1985 with the publication of .
This division was made more flexible with the introduction of variable-length subnet masks (VLSM) in in 1987.
In 1993, based on this work, introduced Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR), which expressed the number of bits (from the most significant) as, for instance, /24, and the class-based scheme was dubbed classful, by contrast.
APNIC was the first RIR to exhaust its regional pool on 15 April 2011, except for a small amount of address space reserved for the transition technologies to IPv6, which is to be allocated under a restricted policy. The long-term solution to address exhaustion was the 1998 specification of a new version of the Internet Protocol, IPv6.

With the phase-out of the 6bone experimental network starting in 2004, permanent formal deployment of IPv6 commenced in 2006.
Many years later, in May 2005, the IETF defined a formal standard in RFC 3927, entitled Dynamic Configuration of IPv4 Link-Local Addresses. ===Loopback=== The class A network 127.0.0.0 (classless network 127.0.0.0/8) is reserved for loopback.
With the phase-out of the 6bone experimental network starting in 2004, permanent formal deployment of IPv6 commenced in 2006.
The threat of exhaustion motivated the introduction of a number of remedial technologies, such as Classless Inter-Domain Routing (CIDR) methods by the mid-1990s, pervasive use of network address translation (NAT) in network access provider systems, and strict usage-based allocation policies at the regional and local Internet registries. The primary address pool of the Internet, maintained by IANA, was exhausted on 3 February 2011, when the last five blocks were allocated to the five RIRs.
