Internet Protocol See TCP/IP An IP number uniquely identifies your computer to the Internet so that the Internet knows where to send the information you have requested
Internet Protocol Protocol that dictates how information is passed across the Internet An IP address is a unique string of numbers, such as 123 456 789 01, that identifies a computer on the Internet
The protocol, or method, used in communicating data from one computer to another across the Internet It is simply a delivery method Each computer on the network, both private and public, is allocated a unique address (an IP number) in much the same manner as an address written on an envelope to identify the intended recipient of conventional mail IP forwards each data packet based on the destination address (the IP number); individual packets may be routed differently
Internet Protocol - IP refers to the set of communication standards that control communications activity on the Internet An IP address is the number assigned to any Internet-connected computer
Internet Protocol, protocol in the TCP/IP internet layer for communication between nets and their hosts An IP-address uniquely identifies each network and each of its hosts on the internet Addresses consist of four bytes that can be represented by four integers (0 to 255) seperated by dots, e g "157 189 162 75" Dependent on the address' class and a subnet mask, a specific number of bits identify the net or subnet and the rest a PC's address within this net/subnet
Internet Protocol The communications protocol underlying the Internet, IP allows large, geographically-diverse networks of computers to communicate with each other quickly and economically over a variety of physical links An Internet Protocol Address is the numerical address by which a location in the Internet is identified Computers on the Internet use IP addresses to route traffic and establish connections among themselves; people generally use the human-friendly names made possible by the Domain Name System
The Internet Protocol (IP) is used in the TCP/IP set of protocols, which supports the Internet and many private networks IP (layer 3) is responsible for delivering data, and TCP (layer 4) is responsible for keeping track of packets used to deliver it as well as providing other functions IP provides a connectionless packet delivery service Each packet that makes up a particular message is sent separately and may even traverse different networks on the way to the destination Connection-oriented TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) reassembles packets in the correct order at the destination IP was originally developed by the US Department of Defense (DoD) for internetworking computers and networks running different and/or proprietary protocols As such, IP has an open architecture and easily interoperates with other protocols
Internet Protocol, the most basic protocol to communicate on the Internet An IP number is a numerical address consisting of four numbers seperated by periods Each IP address uniquely identifies a certain computer on the Internet The domain name is used to make using them easier
Internet Protocol, often referred to as TCP/IP for Transport Control Protocol and Internet Protocol Because of the popularity of the Internet, this packet structure became the most popular way of transporting all information across carriers Because it was designed for data and not for video and voice, many special protocol tricks have to be employed to carry IP over optical systems, or even for carrying voice and video in electronic networks that utilize IP
