ip adresses are put into the binary format so computers can make sense of them. hexadecimal is used for the same purpose.
Dotted decimal
binary firewall that allows only authorized IP addresses to pass through the firewall.

IP Addresses don't necessarily have text addresses. http://www.ansers.com has an IP address, it is currently 216.8.179.26. You can see the IP address of any website by using the ping utility on any computer. If you want your IP address to have a text translation you could sign up for a service like DynDns. DynDns is a free service and can be found at dyndns.org. The format you are used to seeing IP addresses in, such as 192.168.1.100, has a binary equivilant. Really, the only reason we use the decimal version is because it is easier to read and remember. 192.168.1.100 would be 11000000.10101000.00000001.11001000 in binary.
Dotted-decimal notation
it is just a delimiter. Domain names are human friendly form of IP addresses which are numerical(binary) & contain delimiter dot(.).
Each number in an IP address represents an octet (8-bit binary number) in the IPv4 address format, separated by periods. The numbers range from 0 to 255 and indicate the specific network and host address within the IP network. IP addresses are used to uniquely identify devices on a network.
A letter addressing scheme has to do with a TCP/IP protocol. Addresses are determined by both decimal and binary counting.
Answer:The dots divide the IP address into sections. There are actually two types of IP address formats used today. IPv4 and IPv6. For simplicity sake I'll just show you a sample of IPv4. (IPv6 expanded the addresses from 32bit to 128bit)Here's an IP address 192.168.0.1_________ 11000000.1010100.00000000.00000001So the IP address is converted into binary language (all the 0's and 1's) which the computer can understand.
Public IP addresses
it depends if your terminolgy is correct or not tech. no there is not a new byte. There are new bit systems that can transmit 64bits at a time. Now for ip addresses there is a new byte its called IP-V6 rather than IP-V4 witch all ip addresses will be converted to IP-V6 and is in hexidecimal format but origanly its till bits just more of them and more combinations. right now we use IP-V4 witch go from 0.0.0.0 to 255.255.255.255 the new ip version (IP-V6) is in hexideciamls witch can go from 00:00:00:00:00:00 to FF:FF:FF:FF:FF:FF and uses 0-9 numbers and A-F letters witch gerate huge amounts of possiblites and will be converted to this soon. question is how soon
