Internet Protocol is a set of standards that enable different types

of computers to communicate with one another and exchange

data through the Internet. IP provides the appearance of a single,

seamless communication system and makes the Internet a virtual

network.

IP Address

A unique 32-bit value that identifies each host on a TCP/IP

network. TCP/IP networks route messages based on the

destination IP address.

For a Class C network, the first 24 bits are the network address

and the final 8 bits are the host address; in dotted-decimal format

it appears “network.network.network.host.”

permanently saved in the ROM at the factory to identify each

Ethernet network device. It is expressed as a sequence of
