Internet Protocol (IP) is the principal communications protocol in the Internet protocol suite for relaying datagrams across network boundaries. Its routing function enables internetworking, and essentially establishes the Internet. IP has the task of delivering packets from the source host to the destination host solely based on the IP addresses in the packet headers. For this purpose, IP defines addressing methods and structures for datagram encapsulation.

In simpler terms, IP is like the postal system of the internet. It ensures that data packets sent from one device on the internet reach the correct destination device, regardless of the route they take or the types of devices they pass through.

An IP (Internet Protocol) address is a unique numerical label assigned to each device connected to a computer network that uses the Internet Protocol for communication. It serves two main purposes:

1. Identification: An IP address uniquely identifies a device on a network. It's akin to a postal address for mail delivery, allowing data packets to be routed to and from the correct destination on the internet.
2. Location addressing: IP addresses also enable devices to communicate with each other across networks. When a device wants to send data to another device, it uses the IP address of the destination device to ensure that the data reaches the correct recipient.

There are two main versions of IP addresses in use today:

1. IPv4 (Internet Protocol version 4): This is the older and most widely used version. IPv4 addresses consist of four sets of numbers separated by periods (e.g., 192.168.0.1). However, the pool of available IPv4 addresses has been largely exhausted due to the growth of the internet and the proliferation of connected devices.
2. IPv6 (Internet Protocol version 6): To address the limitation of IPv4 addresses, IPv6 was developed, which uses a much larger address space. IPv6 addresses are represented as eight groups of hexadecimal digits separated by colons (e.g., 2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334). IPv6 allows for a virtually unlimited number of unique addresses, accommodating the growing number of internet-connected devices.

IP addresses are typically assigned by Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) to regional Internet registries (RIRs), who then allocate them to Internet service providers (ISPs) and other organizations. These allocations are governed by policies aimed at ensuring fair distribution and efficient use of IP addresses.

To obtain IP addresses for your business, you typically need to go through an Internet Service Provider (ISP) or work directly with regional Internet registries (RIRs), or you can contact IP4HOST if you require a large block of addresses.
