The IP register contains the address of the next instruction to fetch and execute.

Normally, IP is incremented by the number of bytes in the instruction after execution of that instruction, unless a transfer of control occurs, in which case IP is loaded with a new value.

What is inter segment branch instruction?

The intersegment branch (or far branch) in the 8086/8088 is a branch where both the Instruction Pointer (IP) and the Code Segment(CS) registers are loaded at the same time. You can branch anywhere in memory with an intersegment branch. Contrast this with an intrasegment branch (or near branch) where only the IP register is loaded. Since the CS register is not loaded, the domain of the branch is only the 64kb segment currently selected by CS.
