Internet address that identifies it to the other nodes.
All Internet addresses are IP addresses
Internet Protocol is the standard that describes the
IP
layout of the basic unit of information on the Internet
(the packet) and also details the numerical addressing
format used to route the information. Your Internet
service provider controls the IP address of any device
it connects to the Internet. The IP addresses in your
network must conform to IP addressing rules.
smaller LANs, most people will allow the DHCP
function of a router or gateway to assign the IP
addresses on internal networks.
IP address IP address is a 32-binary digit number that identifies
each sender or receiver of information that is sent in

Network Address Translator generally applied by a
router that makes many different IP addresses on an
internal network appear to the Internet as a single
address. For routing messages properly within your
network, each device requires a unique IP address. But
the addresses may not be valid outside your network.
NAT solves the problem. When devices within your
