24-Port Managed Gigabit Switch
Area Network (LAN) or Wide Area Network (WAN) is given an
Internet Protocol address, and this IP address is used to
identify the device uniquely among all other devices connected
to the extended network.
The current version of the Internet protocol is IPv4, which has
32-bits Internet Protocol addresses allowing for in excess of
four billion unique addresses. This number is reduced
drastically by the practice of webmasters taking addresses in
large blocks, the bulk of which remain unused. There is a
rather substantial movement to adopt a new version of the
Internet Protocol, IPv6, which would have 128-bits Internet
Protocol addresses. This number can be represented roughly
by a three with thirty-nine zeroes after it. However, IPv4 is still
the protocol of choice for most of the Internet.
