Internet Protocol Address

Internet Protocol Address (IP Address) is a unique address in number format which every computer device has. The IP address enables computer devices to communicate with each other over an IP Network or the Internet. In order for data to be sent from one computer to another over the Internet, a data packet must be transferred across the Network containing the IP addresses of both devices. The unique IP address allows data to reach the right destination.
