What is IP Address?

IP Address - A unique identifier assigned to every device connected to a computer network that uses the Internet Protocol for communication. This includes personal computers, mobile devices, and servers.

An IP address consists of four sets of numbers separated by dots. For example: 192.168.0.1 is an IPv4 address and 2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334 is an IPv6 address.

The primary function of an IP address is to establish a connection between one device on the internet with another via TCP/IP protocol stack.
