ip adresses are put into the binary format so computers can make sense of them. hexadecimal is used for the same purpose.
Dotted-decimal notation
The full form of IP is Internet Protocol. It is a set of rules that govern the format of data packets exchanged over a network. IP addresses are used to identify devices on a network.
For multicast, ip addresses in the range of 224.0.0.0 - 239.255.255.255 are used.
public ip-addresses are used in the Internet (they are registered addresses). private ip-addresses are used in local networks. imagine you have a computer in your local network that has a public ip-address and your PC has simultaneously an Internet connection: if you try to ping this pc you wouldn't be able to tell which computer is replying, the local one or the webserver.
Address Resolution Protocol (ARP)ARP is primarily used to translate IP Addresses to Ethernet MAC Addresses.
No, an IP address does not contain commas. Instead, it is typically represented in a numeric format, with IPv4 addresses consisting of four sets of numbers separated by periods (e.g., 192.168.1.1) and IPv6 addresses using colons to separate groups of hexadecimal numbers (e.g., 2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334). Commas are not used in the standard notation of IP addresses.
Private IP Addresses are not used for internet data traffic but are intended to be used specifically on internal networks called intranets.
Public IP addresses
Dotted-decimal notation is a method of representing IP addresses in a human-readable format. It consists of four decimal numbers separated by dots, where each number can range from 0 to 255. For example, the IP address 192.168.1.1 is expressed in dotted-decimal notation. This format is commonly used for IPv4 addresses to simplify the identification of devices on a network.
