Ipv4
Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) is the fourth version of the Internet Protocol, a core protocol for internetworking methods in the Internet and other packet-switched networks. It uses a 32-bit address scheme, allowing for approximately 4.3 billion unique addresses, and supports features like addressing, subnetting, routing, and Network Address Translation (NAT). IPv4 is primarily used by network administrators and organizations to connect devices to the Internet, although it is gradually being replaced by IPv6 due to address exhaustion.
