Internet protocol: - The 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 packet structures that encapsulate the data to be delivered. It also defines addressing methods that are used to label the datagram with source and destination information.
There are four types of ip address that you should give a fuck about when in this game.
⁃ Local ip
⁃ Public ip
⁃ Dynamic ip
⁃ Static ip
Learn what they are and how they work. If you are not with the reading and learning shit you wont be successful.
Local ip - An external or public ip address is used across the entire Internet to locate computer systems and devices. A local or internal ip address is used inside a private network to locate the computers and devices connected to it is known as local ip.
Public IP address - a public ip address that can be accessed over the Internet. Like postal addresses to deliver a postal mail to your home, a public ip address the globally unique ip address assigned to a computing device. Your public ip address can be found at What is my ip Address page.
Dynamic ip- A dynamic IP address is an IP address that's automatically assigned to each connection of a network, like your smartphone, desktop PC, wireless tablet…. whatever.
This automatic assignment of IP addresses is done by what's called a DHCP server A DHCP server assigned IP address is called dynamic because it will often be different on future connections to the network.
Static ip - A static IP address is an IP address that was manually configured for a device, versus one that was assigned via a DHCP server. It's called static because it doesn't change
