A global IP address is assigned to a computer or modem by an internet service provider and can be communicated with from anywhere on the internet. Global IP addresses are unique and assigned only to a single computer or device.
Local IP addresses (Private IP Addresses) are assigned by a router and include 10.0.0.0 to 10.255.255.255, 172.16.0.0 to 172.31.255.255 and 192.168.0.0 to 192.168.255.255. Local IP addresses can only be used to communicate within a closed network.
As an example:
* Bob's house has two computers and a router. * ** Bob is assigned an IP addresses of 78.182.2.17 by his ISP. ** Both of bob's computers are connected to a router which is connected to the internet. ** *** Router IP:
*** **** Local: 192.168.0.100 **** Global: 78.182.2.17 *** Computer one IP: 192.168.0.101 *** Computer two IP: 192.168.0.102 When Bob uses either computer one or two to connect to the internet the traffic is passed by the IP address 78.182.2.17 which is his global IP address. The router acts as a gateway to the internet using this IP address.
Bob can however communicate between his two computers within his house using the 192.168. IP addresses.
If someone on the internet want's to communicate with Bob they use 78.182.2.17 and the router determines which of Bob's two computers the traffic is intended for as the 78.182.2.17 IP address in this case is actually Bob's router and is not directly assigned to either computer. Local IP addresses must be unique within a network but individual networks can use the same internal IP addresses provided they are not connected. (ie. Company A can only have one 10.0.11.23, however company B can also have a 10.0.11.23).
What is difference between public ip and isdn
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.
A public IP address is assigned to you by your Internet Service Provider while your private IP is assigned to you by your internal router. You can loacte your public IP address on LocatedIP.com
difference between ip address and class
The general difference between a static IP and dynamic IP is that a static IP is reserved and does not change. A dynamic IP on the other hand changes each time one logs on.
You cannot directly convert a local IP address (such as those in the ranges of 192.168.x.x, 10.x.x.x, or 172.16.x.x to 172.31.x.x) to a global (public) IP address. Local IP addresses are used within a private network and are not routable on the internet. To access the global internet, a network device like a router uses Network Address Translation (NAT) to map local IP addresses to a single public IP address. When local devices send requests to the internet, the router changes the source IP to its public IP, allowing for communication with external servers.
IP is the internet protocol that uniquely identifies a system on a network and there is no difference between IP and IPv4 infact IPv4 is a version of like IPv6.
Yes, the IP address 11.63.72.21 is a public IP address. Public IP addresses are assigned to devices that directly connect to the internet and can be accessed from outside a local network. In this case, the address falls within the range of public IPs and is not part of the reserved private IP address ranges.
IPV4 is a kind of IP Address.
internal ip is ur lan ip external ip is ip of wan that is provided by isp
An IP address is the address of your computer on a network. You can have a local IP address if you have a home or office network but also an Internet IP address. Your e-mail address is completely different to an IP address. http://www.whats-my-ip.biz
