   IP address
   a unique 32-bit address assigned to a host connected to the Internet (usually this is a static allocation, but some dial-up Internet providers assign IP addresses dynamically when you log on.) - the IP address is usually presented in dotted-decimal format (e.g. 123.45.67.89), where each number represents eight bits of the address - the first part o...

   IP Address
   A unique identifier for a computer or device on a TCP/IP network. Networks using the TCP/IP protocol route messages based on the IP address of the destination. The format of an IP address is a 32-bit numeric address written as four numbers separated by periods. Each number can be zero to 255. For example, 1.160.10.240 could be an IP address.

   IP address
   An `IP address` (`Internet Protocol address`) is a unique address that certain electronic devices currently use in order to identify and communicate with each other on a computer network utilizing the Internet Protocol standard (`IP`)—in simpler terms, a computer address. Any participating network device—including routers, switches, computers, infrastructure servers (e.g., NTP, DNS, DHCP, SNMP, etc.), printers, Internet fax machines, ...

    IP address
    address of a host computer used in the Internet Protocol NOTE 1 - The IP address corresponds to a fully qualified domain name. At present, it consists of 32 bits and is generally represented by a sequence of four decimal numbers (each in the range from 0 to 255), separated by dots. The IP address of a computer usually comprises two parts: a part co...

    IPv4 mapped address
    `IPv4 mapped IPv6 addresses` constitute a special class of IPv6 addresses. Such an IPv6 address has its first 80 bits set to zero, the next 16 set to one, while its last 32 bits represents an IPv4 address. For example, ::ffff:c000:280 is the mapped IPv6 address for 192.0.2.128.

    IPv4-compatible address
    `IPv4-compatible IPv6 addresses` used to constitute a special class of IPv6 addresses. Such an IPv6 address has its first 96 bits set to zero, while its last 32 bits represents an IPv4 address. This address type has been deprecated by RFC 4291. The only remaining use of these addresses is to represent an IPv4 address in a table with fixed size members that must also be able to store an IPv6 address. It should never been seen on the wire. The u...
