- On a network, IP (Internet Protocol) addresses are used to identify hardware devices. These addresses enable these devices to communicate with one another over a local network or the internet.
- Each address consists of a series of integers separated by commas. There are a total of four numbers, each of which can range from 0 to 255. 506.457.14.512 is an example of an IP address.
- To connect your computer or gadget to your home or business network, you'll need a private IP address. Your network router is usually the one who assigns this address.
- Your home or business network's public IP address is used to connect to the internet. Your internet service provider has given you this address (ISP).
