IP (Internet Protocol) The IP(internet protocol), generically is an address that indicates the location of a particular piece of equipment in a private or public network. The IP address version 4 (IPv4), is a 32bit number written as four octets represented in decimal format: • The first part of the address identifies a specific network in the inter-network; • The second part identifies a host within that network. Types of IP addresses • There are various classifications of IP addresses, and each category further contains some types. • Every individual or firm with an active internet service system pursues two types of IP addresses, i.e., Private IP (Internet Protocol) addresses and public IP (Internet Protocol) addresses. 1. Private IP addresses 2. Public IP addresses Private and Public IP Address • The Private IP Address of a system is the IP address that is used to communicate within the same network. Using private IP data or information can be sent or received within the same network.
• The Public IP Address of a system is the IP address that is used to
communicate outside the network. A public IP address is basically assigned by the ISP (Internet Service Provider). IP (Internet protocol) IP Addressing and Routing Most complex aspects of IP are IP addressing and routing. Addressing refers to how end hosts becomes assigned IP addresses and how subnetworks of IP host addresses are divided and grouped together. IP packet What is an IP packet? A message may be a short ping to check that another device is online. But there is a limit to how large a message can be, That's why many networking protocols divide each message into several smaller packets. The Internet Protocol (IP) describes the structure of packets moving over the Internet. • Each IP packet contains both a header (20 or 24 bytes long) and data (variable length). Thankyou
