What IS IP Address?
An IP(Internet Protocol) address is an address that is assigned to any computer or media which is connetcted to a computer network. The main concept of an IP address is to name a computer in a network so that it can be easily identified. There are two types of IP addressing that exist in the current world scenario- they are IPV4(Internet Protocol Version 4) and higher version is IPV6(Internet Protocol Version 6). IPV4 is 32 bit addressing mode from which we can address upto 2^32 computers. initially designers thought it would be enough for the world but as the technology is growing so much rapidly and most of the electronic media are IP based hence the need of IP address is growing rapidly hence the 32 bit IP addressing is not enough so now designers have chosen a new addressing scheme which consists of 128 bit addressing mode so we can address upto 2^128 computers. With this new scheme of IP address there wont be scarcity of ip address for long years to come.
