What is IP ( Internet Protocol )

What is IP ( Internet Protocol )

How you connect to the world....?

Internet Protocoling ( IP )

An IP address is a fascinating product of modern computer technology designed to allow one computer (or other digital device) to communicate with another via the Internet. IP addresses allow the location of literally billions of digital devices that are connected to the Internet to be pinpointed and differentiated from other devices. In the same sense that someone needs your mailing address to send you a letter, a remote computer needs your IP address to communicate with your computer.
"IP" stands for Internet Protocol, so an IP address is an Internet Protocol address. What does that mean? An Internet Protocol is a set of rules that govern Internet activity and facilitate completion of a variety of actions on the World Wide Web. Therefore an Internet Protocol address is part of the systematically laid out interconnected grid that governs online communication by identifying both initiating devices and various Internet destinations, thereby making two-way communication possible.
An IP address consists of four numbers, each of which contains one to three digits, with a single dot (.) separating each number or set of digits. Each of the four numbers can range from 0 to 255. Here's an example of what an IP address look as: 78.125.0.209. This innocuous-looking group of four numbers is the key that empowers you and me to send and retrieve data over our Internet connections, ensuring that our messages, as well as our requests for data and the data we've requested, will reach their correct Internet destinations. Without this numeric protocol, sending and receiving data over the World Wide Web would be impossible.

What is your IP's....?

There are 02 kind of IP's ( Internet Protocol )

  • Dynamic IP addresses
  • Static IP addresses

Dynamic IP addresses


Dynamic IP addresses


  • A dynamic IP address is an IP address that's automatically assigned to each connection, or node, of a network, like your smartphone, desktop PC, wireless tablet... whatever.
  • This automatic assignment of IP addresses is done by what's called a DHCP server.
  • A DHCP server assigned IP address is called dynamic because it will often be different on future connections to the network.
  • The "opposite" of a dynamic IP address is called a static IP address (one that was configured manually).
  • No doubt you've heard the term " IP address ". Unless you're a techie, though, you may not have more than a shadowy notion of what an IP address actually is or how it works. Let's explore the concept.

Static IP addresses

Static IP addresses

  • A static IP address is an IP address that was manually configured for a device, versus one that was assigned via a DHCP server.
  • A static IP address is called static because it doesn't change. This is the exact opposite of a dynamic IP address, which does change.
  • Static IP addresses are also sometimes referred to as fixed IP addresses or dedicated IP addresses.
