The internet is large with different streams of communication. An IP address is one of the ways devices communicate or connect to a network through the IP protocol. An IP (Internet Protocol) address, also called an Internet address or IP number, is an identifier or label given to any device connected to a network. The IP protocol is used to communicate between the device and the computer network. The identifier or label can be numerical or alphanumeric.  

The internet is a global set of interconnected networks that use standard protocols to communicate or exchange information. This communication process is known as IP transit and it occurs when traffic gets sent and then reaches its destination through the TCP/IP stack. With an in-depth understanding of IP addresses, you will be able to make better choices when it comes to your network accessing the internet and how best to serve your customers.

It was first met with skeptical views as many could not see the hidden possibilities it offered. But, it gradually thrived and has become an indispensable feature in our daily activities. Today, we use the internet for almost everything, and for many people it would be impossible to imagine life without it.

It doesn’t matter whether you choose only the best server components and design all systems to be as redundant as possible, one thing that you can always count on for any long-running system is a hardware failure.
