INTERNET PROTOCOL ADDRESS (IP address)
Sequence of numbers that uniquely identifies the location of each computer or device connected to the Internet or any other network
Structure of IPv6 address
separated by
colons (:)
each groups
consists 16 bits
represented as
8 groups/fields
of four hexadecimal digits
number
in each group is between
0000 to FFFF
uses 128-bit address scheme allowing 340 undecillion possible address
Version of IP address
Internet Protocol Version 4
(IPv4)
Internet Protocol Version 6
(IPv6)
Importance :
original IPv4 address began decreasing in availability. IPv6 providing much larger address space with improved traffic routing
Benefits
better security
better support for real time
improved traffic routing
includes plug and play
larger space that provide enough space
better optimization
CHARACTERISTIC of IPv4
separator is
period (.)
each group consists 8 bits
,4 groups = 32 bits
number in
each group
is between
0 and 255
lowest IP address is
0.0.0.0
made up of
four groups
of
decimal places
highest IP address is
255.255.255.255
uses 32-bit address scheme allowing total of address = 4.3 billion
First 3 number identifies the network
Last number identifies the specific computer
Web Address
: unique address for a web page. Also called as
Uniform Resource Locator (URL)
Domain Name ;
