    IP addresses are the numeric identifiers that computers use to communicate with each other over the internet. There are two main versions - IPv4 addresses which provide 4.3 billion possible addresses, and IPv6 which vastly expands the number of available addresses to 340 undecillion to accommodate continued growth of internet-connected devices. The large number of IPv6 addresses gives each network and device much more personal address space.
