The ADDRESS of your COMPUTER

By - RAHUL

The answer is that every computer having a internet connection has a unique IP address assigned to it.

usually refers to a set of rules that define an exact format for communication between systems .
The

Protocol

Internet Protocol (IP) is a protocol used for communicating data across a packet-switched internetwork using the Internet Protocol Suite, also referred to as TCP/IP.

But computers communicate in binary form. 11000000.10101000.000000 01.01100100 The four numbers in an IP address are called octets, because they each have eight positions when viewed in binary form. each octet can contain any value between zero and 255.

is a set of rules (protocol) used along with the Internet Protocol (IP) to send data in the form of message units between computers over the Internet. While IP takes care of handling the actual delivery of the data, TCP takes care of keeping track of the individual units of data (called packets) that a message is divided into for efficient routing through the Internet.
TCP

It

reassembles the individual packets and waits until they have arrived to forward them to you as a single file.

Domain On the Internet, a domain consists of a set of network addresses. This domain is organized in levels. The top level identifies geographic or purpose commonality Gateway It is a network point that acts as an entrance to another network. A gateway is often associated with both a router, which knows where to direct a given packet of data that arrives

File retrieval protocols This type of service was one of the earliest ways of retrieving information from computers connected to the Internet. FTP (File Transfer Protocol) This was one of the first Internet services developed and it allows users to move files from one computer to another. Using the FTP program, a user can logon to a remote computer, browse through its files, and either download or upload files (if the remote computer allows).

Gopher Gopher offers downloadable files with some content description to make it easier to find the file you need. The files are arranged on the remote computer in a hierarchical manner Telnet Generally you would telnet into a specific application housed on a serving computer that would allow you to use that application as if it were on your own computer.

IPv6 is short for "Internet Protocol Version 6". IPv6 is the "next generation" protocol designed by the IETF to replace the current version Internet Protocol, IP Version 4 ("IPv4").

The

IPv4 address space has a theoretical limit of 4.3 billion addresses, only about 14 percent of the world's population has Internet access. we want to provide Internet access to only 20 percent of the world's population, we will need the IPv6 address space.

I got no IP address left for me !

If

The

most important feature of IPv6 is a much larger address space than that of IPv4: addresses in IPv6 are 128 bits long, compared to 32-bit addresses in IPv4. The very large IPv6 address space supports a total of 2128 (about 3.41038)
