113. ts Each computer or host on the Internet has at least one address that uniquely identifies it from all others and each data packet contains both the sender s address and the receiver s address The Internet Protocol ensures that the data packets all arrive at the intended address As IP is a connectionless protocol which means that there is no established connection between the communication end points packets can be sent via different routes and do not need to arrive at the destination in the correct order Once the data packets have arrived at the correct destination another protocol Transmission Control Protocol TCP puts them in the right order See also TCP IP address An IP address is simply an address on an IP network used by a computer device connected to that network IP addresses allow all the connected computers devices to find each other and to pass data back and forth To avoid conflicts each IP address on any given network must be unique An IP address can be assigned as fixed so that it does not change or it can be assigned dynamically and automatically by DHCP An IP address consists of four groups or quads of decimal digits separated by periods e g 130 5 5 25 Different parts of the address represent different things Some part will represent the network number or address and some other part will represent the local machine address See also IP Internet Protocol Inputs Outputs I Os
