The IP (Internet Protocol) address is a set of rules for communication over the internet, such as sending mail, streaming video, or connecting to a website. An IP address identifies a network or device on the internet. The internet protocols manage the process of assigning each unique device its own IP address. This way, it’s easy to see which devices on the internet are sending, requesting, and receiving what information. Every single device that is connected to the internet has an IP address.
