An IP or an Internet Protocol address is a type of numerical label that is assigned to every device which is connected to the network of a computer and uses the IP address for communication. An internet protocol network or host location addresses and identifies the interface. The version 4 IP (IPV4) defines the address in 32 bits while IPV6 uses 128 bits for the internet protocol address.

IP addresses are displayed and written in the notations that are readable by human beings. The routing prefix size of the address is represented in the CIDR notation by suffixing the IP addresses with the number of vital bits that is equal to the used subnet mask.
