Line 74: ==Use in Internet Protocol addresses== The octet is used in representations of [[Internet Protocol]] [[computer network]] addresses.<ref name="TCPIP"/> An [[IPv4]] address consists of four octets, usually displayed individually as a series of decimal values ranging from 0 to 255, each separated by a dot (a [[full stop ~~(dot~~]]/period). Using octets with all eight bits set, the representation of the highest-numbered IPv4 address is {{IPaddr\|255.255.255.255}}. An [[IPv6 address]] consists of sixteen octets, displayed in hexadecimal representation (two [[wikt:hexit\|hexits]] per octet), using a colon character (:) after each pair of octets (16 bits are also known as [[hextet]]) for readability, such as {{IPaddr\|2001:0DB8:0000:0000:0123:4567:89AB:CDEF}}.{{Ref RFC\|4291}}
