Definitions from the Web

IP Address

Definition: An IP address, short for Internet Protocol address, is a numerical label assigned to each device connected to a computer network that uses the Internet Protocol for communication.

Sense 1: In computer networking, an IP address serves two main purposes: identifying the host or network interface and providing the location of the host in the network.

Example sentence 1: To access the router's settings, enter its IP address in your web browser.

Example sentence 2: The server's IP address was blacklisted due to suspicious activity.

Sense 2: IP addresses are typically represented in either IPv4 or IPv6 format, with IPv4 using a 32-bit address and IPv6 using a 128-bit address.

Example sentence 1: The transition to IPv6 was necessary to accommodate the increasing number of devices connected to the internet.

Example sentence 2: The website's firewall blocked any incoming connection from an unauthorized IPv4 address.

Sense 3: Internet Service Providers (ISPs) assign dynamic or static IP addresses to their customers, which can affect internet access and privacy.

Example sentence 1: My ISP provided me with a dynamic IP address that changes every time I reconnect to the internet.

Example sentence 2: With a static IP address, it is easier to set up a remote connection to your home network.
