IP Address
Address within IP (the Internet Protocol, part of TCP/IP).
An IP address is an address identifying a device or a computer within a network using
the IP protocol. IP addresses are defined as a 32-bit number. For ease of notation, the
IP address is divided into four 8 bit numbers which are represented in decimal notation
and separated by points:
a.b.c.d
where a.b.c.d are each integer values between 0 and 255.
Example: 192.168.30.15
However, not all combinations are allowed, some are reserved for special purposes.
The IP address 0.0.0.0 is defined as invalid.
