IP Address

🤔what is an ip?? Type of  ip:

➡️internet protocol:-The internet protocol is the principal communications protocol in the internet protocol suite for relaying
datagram across network boundaries. It is routing function enables internetworking, and essentially establishes the internet.

IP has the task of delivering packets from the source host to the destination host soley based on the IP addresses in the 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.

👉Types of IP:

There are four types of IP address:

   •     Local ip

•     Public ip

  •     Dynamic ip

•     Static ip

• Local ip – An external or public ip address is used across the entire internet to  locate computer system and device. A local ip address is used inside private network to locate the computers and devices connected to it is known as local ip.

• Public IP – A public ip address that can be accessed over the internet.Like postal address 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 am IP address that’s automatically assigned to each connection of  a network, like your smartphone, desktopđź’»PC, wireless tablet… Whatever. This automatic assignment of IP address 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 connection to the network.

• Static ip – A static IP address is an address that was manuallyconfigured
for a device,versus one that was assigned via a DHCP server. it’s called static because it doesn’t change. It’s the exact opposite of a dynamic IP address, which change.The might be done through the device giving out IP addresses or by manually typing the IP address into the device itself. The “opposite” of a dynamic IP address is called a static IP address.

🔦Static Vs Dynamic IP addresses 

The opposite of a never-changing static IP address is an ever-changing dynamic IP address. A dynamic IP address is just a regular address like a static IP is, but it is not permanently tied to any particular device.Instead they’re used for a specific amount of time and then returned to an address pool so that other devices can use them.

This is one reason that dynamic IP addresses are so useful. If an isp were to use static IP addresses for all of their customers, that would mean that there’d constantly be a limited supply of addresses for new customers. Dynamic addresses provide a way for IP addresses to be reused when they’re not in use elsewhere, providing internet access for many more devices than what would otherwise be possible.
