    A IP (with IP = Internet Protocol) is the number that identifies each computer logged in Internet or more generally, and specifically, the network interface any hardware (router, Printer) connected to a computer network using the Internet Protocol. There are IP addresses v4 and Version 6. Version 4 is currently the most used : it is usually written in decimal notation with four numbers between 0 and 255, separated by pointsFor example : 212.85.150.134.

    Hello everyone,

    The format of an IP address is a 32-bit numeric address written as four numbers separated by periods. Each number can be zero to 255.The four numbers in an IP address are used in different ways to identify a particular network and a host on that network.

    As networks vary in size, there are four different address formats or classes to consider when applying to NIC for a network number:

    * Class A addresses are for large networks with many devices.
    * Class B addresses are for medium-sized networks.
    * Class C addresses are for small networks (fewer than 256 devices).
    * Class D addresses are multicast addresses.

    Hope you get it now..!!
