What is IP Address ? | How does it work?

IP address whose full form is "Internet Protocol". But do you know? The Internet has an internet protocol salt address which is your identity in the world of the internet. 

This address is a different address for every internet user. If you also use the internet, then you should know about it, if you are interested in learning about the internet protocol, then read this article of mine. 

In this article, I have better explained the internet protocol. So let's know about internet protocol.




What is an IP address?

If we understand the IP address very easily then the full form of the IP address is the internet protocol address. 

All of you must be using the internet whether it is from your smartphone or computer. So the internet also has an address that delivers data to you, we call it an IP address.

If you understand in the easy language your house will be at somewhere if someone comes to your house, then they will know your home address, so they will come without a home address, they know that if you have a house but you know where it is, then you will come to your house. 

Just like the internet protocol is working, it also has an address on the internet. If you do some searching, the result that comes to you comes from the internet protocol. If there is no internet protocol then if you do some searching, how will it be delivered to which address?

It is necessary to home internet protocol. The internet protocol varies from person to person. This address is made up of some numbers. Your location can be accessed through the internet protocol model. 

There are 4 different types of internet protocols:- public, private, static, and dynamic. So let's understand these four below.


Types of IP address

There are four types of internet protocol,

1-Public

A public IP address is global which is used for internet access. The address of a public IP address is an internet protocol address that is used to access the internet. 

The presence of a public IP address on your router or computer will allow you to organize your server. 

With a public IP address, you can set up any home server to publish it on the internet."

2-Private

Any internet protocol that falls within the specified range is a public internet protocol address and is non-variable on the internet. 

Addresses reserved for use within cable private corporate networks and cannot be viewed outside private networks. 

These lower addresses are translated to external IP addresses on the company's firewall, which will be some addresses that do not fail within these limits.

3- Static

A static address is an IP address that was manually assigned to a device rather than handed over by a DHCP server. 

It is named static because it doesn't change as a dynamic IP address, which changes router, phone, tablet, desktop and the other device that uses an IP address can be configured for a static IP address. 

This can be done through the device providing the IP address or by manually typing the IP address from device to device.

4-Dynamic

A dynamic IP address is an IP address that changes periodically as opposed to a static IP address. Most home networks are likely to have a dynamic IP address and this is allocated dynamic IP addresses to customers. 

Dynamic IP addresses are typically implemented by internet service providers and networks that have a large number of connecting clients or end-nodes.


History of IP Address

The development of internet protocol started in 1974. It was led by computer scientists "Bob Kahn" and "Vint Cerf". 

It is used in transmission control protocols and connections with TCP. The first major version of the internet was version 4 or IPv4. 

RFC 791 was formally defined in 1981 by the internet engineering task force or IETF. The successor to IPv4 is IPv6, which was formalized by the IETF in 1998.


IP Address Classes 

IPv4 IP address, there are five classes of available IPv4 IP address:- class A, class B, class C, class D, and Class E out of which class A, B, and C are used. 

The range is shown according to the category of the following internet protocol:-

Class A :-

Address range :- 1.0.0.1 to 126.255.255.254

Class B :-

Address range :- 128.1.0.1 to 191.255.255.254

Class C :-

Address range :- 192.0.1.1 to 223.255.254.254

Class D :-

Address range :- 224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255

Class E :-

Address range :- 240.0.0.0 to 254.255.255.254
