IF : Intermediate Frequency (IF) is a frequency to which a carrier frequency
is shifted as an intermediate step in transmission or reception. An
intermediate electromagnetic frequency is generated by a

IP Address : An Internet Protocol address (IP address) is usually a numerical label
that is assigned to each device (computer or printer for example) that is
participating in a computer network that uses the Internet Protocol for

developed in 1995, and it is standardized as RFC 2460. IPv6 began
being deployed worldwide in the year 2000. IP addresses are binary
