What is an IP address?
IP or Internet Protocol is a unique quartet of numbers ranging from 0~ 254. These
unique numbers are assigned to one specific computer at any given time. An IP
address is divided into two parts: a network number and a host number.
The idea is that all computers that operate on one physical network will have the same
network number (like a street name). The rest of the IP address defines an individual
computer (like a house number within a street).
Because IP addresses are a scarce resource, most Internet Service Providers (ISPs)
will only allocate one IP address to a single customer or user. In the majority of cases,
an IP address is assigned dynamically, so every time a computer connects to the ISP,
a different address will be provided. However, these IP address are unique in the
world of the Internet. Each IP address is registered to a person or to company (in most
cases to an ISP).
