What is an IP address?
What is an IP address?
An IP address (Internet Protocol address) is a unique identifier assigned to every device connected to the internet. It allows devices to send and receive data over the web or local network.
How does an IP address work?
When your device connects to the internet, your internet service provider (ISP) assigns it an IP address. This address acts as a return address for data, allowing websites to send information back to you.
Private IP address
Private IP address is assigned to devices in a local network, such as in your home or office. These addresses are used for internal communication and are not directly accessible from the internet.
IPv4 vs IPv6
IPv4 uses 32-bit addresses (e.g., 192.168.1.1), allowing about 4.3 billion unique addresses. IPv6 uses 128-bit addresses, providing virtually unlimited unique addresses.
