Nota Networking (Introduction to Network Types)

What is an IP address?

Every machine on the Internet­ has a unique identifying number, called an IP Address. A typical IP address looks like this:

• 216.27.61.137

­To make it easier for us humans to remember, IP addresses are normally expressed in decimal format as a "dotted decimal number" like the one above. But computers communicate in binary form. Look at the same IP address in binary:

• 11011000.00011011.00111101.10001001
