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 I VOP See VOP JPEG Joint Photographic Experts Group Together with the GIF file format J PEG is an image file type commonly used on the web A J PEG image is a bitmap and usually has the file suffix jpg or jpeg When creating a PEG image itis possibleto configure the level of compression to use As the lowest compression i e the highest quality results in the largest file there is a trade off between image quality and file size kbit s kilobits per second A measure of the bit rate i e the rate at which bits are passing a given point See also Bit rate LAN Local Area Network A LAN is a group of computers and associated devices that typically share common resources within a limited geog
