Answer to Question 1

FALSE

Answer to Question 2

Public IP addresses identify a particular device on the public Internet. Because public
IP addresses must be unique worldwide, their assignment is controlled by a public agency known
as Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN). Private IP addresses
identify a particular device on a private network, usually on a local area network (LAN). Their
assignment is controlled within the LAN, usually by the LAN device.
The private/public IP address scheme has two major benefits. First, public IP addresses are
conserved. All of the computers on the LAN use only one public IP address. Second, by using
private IP addresses, users are protected from attackers directly attacking them because attackers
cannot send attack packets to private IP addresses. Attackers can only send packets to devices
with public IP addresses.
