You need to understand IP addresses in order for computers around the world to connect properly.
An IP address is 32 bits and is divided into four 8-bit sections by a dot. Each 8-bit section is called an individual byte or octet. Valid values range from 1 to 254 and must be reserved for 0 and 255. 0 is the network address and 255 is the broadcast address.
IP type and structure
There are two types of IP addresses: Public IP and Private IP
Private IPs are added on the LAN network Public IPs are added on the WAN network…. IPs are IPv4 and IPv6
IP VERSION 4 (IPv4) is an IP with 4 octets (for example, 192.168.1.10) used in dotted decimal format between octets.
