What is an IPV4 address?

An IP (Internet Protocol) address is the number that identifies each device connected to the Internet.

Version 4 is still the most widely used. It is generally written with four numbers between 0 and 255, separated by dots.

Type: xx.xxx.xxx.xxx

Version 6 is becoming increasingly popular due to the shortage of IPV4.
