What is full form of IP

IP (Internet Protocol) is a set of rules governing the format of data sent over a network, specifically the Internet. IP is responsible for routing data packets to their correct destination on a network using IP addresses. There are two versions of IP in use today: IPv4 and IPv6. IPv4 uses 32-bit addresses and is the most widely used version of IP, while IPv6 uses 128-bit addresses and is gradually being adopted as a replacement for IPv4.
