What is an IP address?
An IP address is a one-of-a-kind identifier for a device on the internet or a local network. IP is an abbreviation for “Internet Protocol,” which is a collection of rules that governs the format of data transferred over the internet or a local network.
IP addresses, in essence, are the identifiers that allow information to be exchanged between network devices: they contain location information and make equipment available for connection. The internet requires a method to distinguish between different computers, routers, and webpages. IP addresses enable this and are a critical component of how the internet operates.
