What is the ip address?

An IP address is an electronic address assigned to each device connected to a computer network. IP acronym stands for Internet protocol, which is usually issued by the user's Internet service provider (ISP) and is the address where the Internet sends back the data and results of the user's search and query.

Usually, IP addresses are allocated in a hierarchical way. It started with the International Digital Distribution Agency (IANA), which allocated IP addresses to different regional Internet registration agencies in blocks. Each regional Internet registration institution further allocates a smaller IP address block to the national Internet registration institution. Next, Internet registration agencies in each country will allocate IP address blocks to various ISP providers.
