IP address
TL;DR: An IP address is a unique string of numbers separated by periods that identifies each device using the Internet Protocol to communicate over a network. It serves as a device's identity on the internet, allowing it to send and receive data.
An IP address is a designated address provided to all devices and networks connected to the internet. Also referred to as “Internet Protocol,” the address consists of a group of numbers calculated and assigned by IANA. An IP address allows the internet to identify and locate each device online and let them communicate and share information.
