IPv4bezogen

IPv4bezogen is a German term used to indicate content, topics, or configurations that pertain specifically to the Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4). In technical writing, it serves as a qualifier to distinguish IPv4-focused material from IPv6-related material or from general networking subjects. The term is not a formal standard by itself, but it appears in documentation, search filters, and glossary entries to clarify scope.

The concept encompasses the core aspects of IPv4 networking, including 32-bit addresses written in dotted decimal notation, subnetting, and address allocation. It also covers mechanisms and protocols commonly used with IPv4, such as ARP for address resolution, ICMP for error reporting and diagnostics, DHCP for dynamic address assignment, and IPv4-specific routing practices (for example, RIP and OSPFv2). In practice, IPv4bezogen materials may discuss private address ranges (RFC 1918), public address management, and network design considerations that assume IPv4 as the underlying protocol.

IPv4bezogen topics often intersect with network security and administration, including firewall rules, access control lists, and NAT (Network Address Translation), which plays a central role in IPv4 networks but is less common in native IPv6 deployments. The term is frequently used in German-language IT resources to label content that would be relevant for administrators, engineers, or students working with IPv4 networks, configurations, and troubleshooting.

In contrast to IPv6, IPv4bezogen content typically emphasizes address scarcity, legacy systems, interoperability with IPv4-only devices, and transition strategies such as dual-stack deployments and tunneling. The label helps readers quickly identify material that may not directly apply to IPv6-first environments.
