Everything about IP address

Numerical label used to identify a network interface in an IP network

An Internet Protocol address is a numerical label, such as 192.168.1.1 or 2001:0db8:0000:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334, that is assigned to a device connected to a computer network that uses the Internet Protocol for communication. IP addresses serve two main functions: network interface identification, and location addressing. Wikipedia →
