what is ip adresses ?

Question

please giveing more information

Answer 1

An IP address (Internet Protocol address) is a unique number that devices use in order to identify and communicate with each other on a computer network utilizing the Internet Protocol standard (IP). Any participating network device — including routers, computers, time-servers, printers, Internet fax machines, and some telephones — must have its own unique address. An IP address can also be thought of as the equivalent of a street address or a phone number (compare: VoIP) for a computer or other network device on the internet. Just as each street address and phone number uniquely identifies a building or telephone, an IP address can uniquely identify a specific computer or other network device on a network.

An IP address can appear to be shared by multiple client devices either because they are part of a shared hosting web server environment or because a proxy server (e.g. an ISP or anonymizer service) acts as an intermediary agent on behalf of its customers, in which case the real originating IP addresses might be hidden from the server receiving a request. The analogy to telephone systems would be the use of predial numbers (proxy) and extensions (shared).

Every machine on the Internet has a unique identifying number, called an IP Address. A typical IP address looks like this:

216.27.61.137
To make it easier for us humans to remember, IP addresses are normally expressed in decimal format as a "dotted decimal number" like the one above. But computers communicate in binary form. Look at the same IP address in binary:


11011000.00011011.00111101.10001001
The four numbers in an IP address are called octets, because they each have eight positions when viewed in binary form. If you add all the positions together, you get 32, which is why IP addresses are considered 32-bit numbers. Since each of the eight positions can have two different states (1 or 0) the total number of possible combinations per octet is 28 or 256. So each octet can contain any value between 0 and 255. Combine the four octets and you get 232 or a possible 4,294,967,296 unique values!

Out of the almost 4.3 billion possible combinations, certain values are restricted from use as typical IP addresses. For example, the IP address 0.0.0.0 is reserved for the default network and the address 255.255.255.255 is used for broadcasts.

The octets serve a purpose other than simply separating the numbers. They are used to create classes of IP addresses that can be assigned to a particular business, government or other entity based on size and need. The octets are split into two sections: Net and Host. The Net section always contains the first octet. It is used to identify the network that a computer belongs to. Host (sometimes referred to as Node) identifies the actual computer on the network. The Host section always contains the last octet. There are five IP classes plus certain special addresses:

IP address in brief is a unique identity of a device on the network. They are used to uniquely identify each of the devices on the network.

An IP address (Internet Protocol address) is a unique number that devices use in order to identify and communicate with each other on a computer network utilizing the Internet Protocol standard (IP). Any participating network device — including routers, computers, time-servers, printers, Internet fax machines, and some telephones — must have its own unique address. An IP address can also be thought of as the equivalent of a street address or a phone number (compare: VoIP) for a computer or other network device on the internet.

I hope you got it.

Answer 4

IP its expansion is Internet Protocol, which is a unique address used to identify the system which is connected to network. The IP address can be assigned to the sytem either dynamically or in static form. The IP address range differ according to the size of the network!

Answer 5

It's the number that uniquely identifies your computer on a TCP/IP network. The internet is a huge TCP/IP network. Certain addresses are only used for special purposes. Using a router allows several computers to share an IP address. Normally, ISPs assign one IP address to every customer - therefore if I have your IP address, the ISP would be able to tell me who you were if I asked them.

You give your IP address to every server you connect to on the internet - it's how they know where to send the web page or resource you have requested!

Answer 7

An IP address is the non "word" form of a web address for your computer or a website. For example, to connect to your own computer via ftp or other means, you would use the IP address of 127.0.01. All websites and computers attached to the internet have IP addresses, as well as a more easilly understandable and easier to remember name address such as yahoo.com .

The only reason they have name addresses is because who would remember to go to 24.128.28.07 or some other such number when they can just type in www.whatever.com?
