What Is an IP Address?
An IP address (Internet Protocol address) is a unique numerical label assigned to every device connected to a computer network. It serves two main functions: identifying the host or network interface, and providing the location of the host in the network.

IPv4 vs IPv6:
IPv4 addresses use 32-bit format (e.g., 192.168.1.1) and are still the most common. IPv6 uses 128-bit format (e.g., 2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334) to accommodate the growing number of internet devices.
