What is IP Address? Internet
Protocol Address (or IP Address) is an unique address that computing devices
use to identify itself and communicate with other devices in the Internet
Protocol network. Any device connected to the IP network must have an
unique IP address within its network. An IP address is analogous to a
street address or telephone number in that it is used to uniquely identify
a network device to deliver mail message, or call ("view") a
website. The traditional IP Addresses (IPv4) uses a 32-bit number to represent an IP address, and it defines both network and host address. Due to IPv4 addresses running out, a new version of the IP protocol (IPv6) has been invented to offer virtually limitless number of unique addresses. An IP address is written in "dotted decimal" notation, which is 4 sets of numbers separated by period each set representing 8-bit number ranging from (0-255). |
