  IP ADDRESS  AnIP address or internet protocol address, is a unique numerical label assigned to each device connected to a computer network that uses the Internet Protocol for communication.  It serves as an identifier for locating and communicating with devices on a network.

  TYPES OF IPADDRESS  IPV4 address  IPV6 address  Public IP address  Private IP address  Static IP address  Dynamic IP address

  IPV4 ADDRESS  IPV4(InternetProtocol Version 4) addresses are 32-bit numerical addresses represented in decimal format.  Each IPV4 address consist of four sets of numbers separated by periods such as 192.02.1.  IPV4 addresses are the most common types of IP addresses and have been widely used since the early days of the internet.
• 5.
  IPV6 ADDRESS  IPV6(InternetProtocol Version 6) addresses are 128-bit hexadecimal addresses represented in a colon-separated format.  They were introduced to address the limitations of IPV4 and provide a larger address space.  An example of an IPV6 address is 2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334.

  PUBLIC IP ADDRESS A public IP address is an address that is globally unique and accessible from the internet.  Devices such as web-servers, e-mal servers and routers that need to communicate with devices outside their local network typically use public IP addresses.  Internet Service Providers(ISPs) assign public IP addresses to devices connected to their networks.

  PRIVATE IP ADDRESS A private IP address is an address that is used within a private network such as a home or business network and is not accessible from the internet.  Private IP addresses are used for internal communication within the network and are typically assigned by a router or network administrator.  Common range of private IP address include:  Class A: 10.0.0.0 to 10.255.255.255  Class B:172.16.0.0 to 172.31.255.255  Class C:192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.255

  STATIC IP ADDRESS A static IP address is an address that remains fixed and does not change over time.  Static IP addresses are manually configured and are often used for servers, network devices and other systems that require a consistent IP address.  They are particularly used for services that need to be accessed remotely.
• 9.
  DYNAMIC IP ADDRESS A dynamic IP address is an address that is assigned automatically by a DHCP(Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server and may change over time.  Dynamic IP addresses are commonly used for devices that are not always connected to the network such as laptops, smartphones, and tablets.  DHCP servers lease dynamic IP addresses to devices for a certain period, after which they may be reassigned to other devices. These are the main types of IP addresses commonly used in networking. Each types serves different purposes and has specific characteristics that make it suitable for various applications and environments.
