Description
IP (Internet Protocol) is a set of rules that govern how data is sent and received over the internet or other networks. It provides a way to address devices and ensures that data packets can travel from one computer to another across various networks. Each device on a network is assigned a unique IP address, which serves as its identifier. IP is essential for routing information across the web, making it the foundation of internet communication.
There are two main versions of IP in use today:
IPv4 (Internet Protocol version 4): The older and most widely used version, which uses 32-bit addresses.
IPv6 (Internet Protocol version 6): The newer version, designed to replace IPv4, uses 128-bit addresses, offering a vastly larger number of unique addresses.
IP works in conjunction with other protocols, such as TCP (Transmission Control Protocol), to ensure reliable data transfer.
