This lecture covers the fundamentals of IP addressing and routing, emphasizing the decentralized nature of IP networks. It explains how routing is achieved through distributed calculations of shortest paths, the structure of IPv4 and IPv6 addresses, and the role of meta-data in TCP packets. Practical aspects of routing tables and the hierarchy of IP addresses are also discussed.
