What is an IP address?
An IP (Internet Protocol) address is a unique numerical label assigned to every device connected to a network. It serves as the device's identifier, enabling data to be routed correctly. There are two versions: IPv4 (e.g., 192.168.1.1) and IPv6 (e.g., 2001:db8::1). Learn more →
