What is IP Address | Internet Protocol Address

IP address, or "internet protocol address", is a unique identifying number given to every single computer on the internet. Like a car license plate, an IP address is a special serial number used for identification.

Any machine connected to the internet has an IP address: Xbox games, cell phones, fax machines, and even soda pop dispensers have IP addresses. In every case, the IP address acts both like a car license plate and like a telephone number: it shows ownership, allows the machine to be located by other machines, and empowers authorities to track and protect people's safety, if need be.

IP addresses are comprised of four numbers separated by dots:

    • e.g. 127.0.0.1
    • e.g. 192.168.1.1
