Why it is important to understand IPv4 address?

Understanding IPv4 addresses is crucial because they are fundamental to internet connectivity and communication. Each device on a network requires a unique IPv4 address to send and receive data, making it essential for routing traffic efficiently.

As the internet continues to grow, understanding IPv4 also lays the groundwork for transitioning to IPv6, which addresses the limitations of IPv4.
