Answers
it address or ip address
Bro I think u e asking about IP address
IP address stands for “Internet Protocol address”. Let me explain about it.
Suppose your friend wants to meet you but doesn’t know where you reside. He ask you about your address, then you give your address somewhat like 23, MG road, New Delhi, India. After giving this address to him he can easily locate you. This residing address is different for different persons.
Same thing is done in case of internet, everyone is assigned a address. But since internet is used by everyone, so different address of same format is assigned to every computer, mobile phone and any other device on which you are running internet. This address is known as “Internet Protocol address.
When you make a particular request on internet, then the particular request is entertained for the IP address assigned to you and you are able to see the requested page on your screen.
IP address are of 2 types:
1 IPv4
2 IPv6
IPv4 stands for Internet Protocol version version 4. It is a 32 bit addressing system. It has 4 sections which can hold value from 0 to 255. It somewhat looks like 68.87.156.28. It can generate about 4.2 billion unique addresses after that this starts repeating.
IPv6 stands for Internet Protocol version 6. It is a 128 bit addressing system. It is made to overcome the limitation of IPv4. IPv6 can create huge number of unique IP addresses.
Thanks for asking
