We see the IP (Internet Protocol) address as a unique address which is assigned to the devices and equipment connected to a local network, with this IP address it is possible to identify and communicate with that device within the network and determine that it is part of the same network. IP addresses are structured by a series of numbers that are separated by points and we have two types of IP that are public IP addresses and private IP addresses..
