Internet Protocol (IP) refers to a set of rules that govern the way data is transmitted over the internet. It acts as a communication protocol that enables devices to communicate with one another over the internet.
IP uses unique identifiers known as IP addresses to identify devices that are connected to the internet. These addresses act as virtual addresses that help to route traffic to specific devices.
TCP/IP protocol suite refers to a set of protocols used in communication between devices and networks using the Internet Protocol (IP). The suite includes Transmission Control Protocol (TCP), which ensures reliable transmission of data, and Internet Protocol (IP), which handles addressing and routing of data packets.
Dynamic IP addresses refer to temporary IP addresses assigned by an internet service provider (ISP) to a device when it connects to the internet. These addresses are leased for a specific time, and once the lease expires, the address is returned to the pool of available addresses.
IPv6 adoption refers to the adoption of Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6) as a replacement for IPv4, which has almost exhausted its available address space. IPv6 provides more address space and improved security features compared to IPv4.
IP address management refers to the administration of IP addresses and related network resources. This encompasses tasks such as allocation, assignment, and tracking of IP addresses within an organization's network infrastructure.
