IP address is a numerical identifier assigned to each machine in IP network.

•An IP address allows a host on one network to communicate with a host on a different network, regardless of the type of LAN the host is connected to. IP addresses are hierarchical in nature.

•An IP address is 32 bits long.

•IP address are represented in Dotted-decimal form, like 172.16.3.53 or rarely in Hexadecimal like AC 10 IE 35.

WHAT ARE PROTOCOLS?

Protocols are simple rules created to standardize a particular network activity. They are simply some scripts that make up rules to determine a specific standard that should be used worldwide by everyone for a specific purpoes such as file transmission, authentication, verification etc.

Protocols typically do their tasks that is, they do what they are programmed for. They simply trigger when their functions is called such as transmission, validation, verification etc.

It typically, runs the script it had been coded with and follows the standard rule specified in it.

We get the necessary output of it after all which will be a standard and security protocol.
