Yes, by now we all should know about the internet and how to use it. This almost summarises how important INTERNET is to us. But how much do we know about it? Like real facts?
The one that got me interested was the IP address and how it works.
Have you watched a crime show drama series (like CSI/NCIS) and wonder how this IP address thing that help these people check the culprits work?
*BAM I FOUND YOU*
IT IS ALWAYS ON MY MIND!
OKAY. Let me teach you IP ADDRESS 101!
- What it stands for?? Internet Protocol address
- IP addresses have different versions: IPv4 and IPv6
- IPv4 uses 32 binary bits whereas IPv6 uses 128 binary bits.
- IP addresses can expire, that means your computer changes IP address when the leases ends!
- They also have classes: A, B, C, D, E. It has different octet range (binaries) and subnets.
- It works like a cellphone number. It has unique combination which helps to communicate with other devices like printers, computers and routers.
p/s: this also means clever internet geeks who has a crush on you can easily stalk you.
