IP
(Internet Protocol)
Internet Protocol (IP) is the principal communications protocol used for relaying datagrams across network boundaries. It enables internetworking and establishes the Internet. IP provides a unique address for each device on the network, ensuring data is sent to the correct destination.
IP is a core component of the Internet Protocol Suite, which also includes protocols like TCP and UDP. It operates at the network layer of the OSI model, facilitating data routing and delivery. IP addresses, such as IPv4 and IPv6, are essential for identifying devices and enabling communication across global networks.
