An IP address (Internet Protocol address) is a set of numbers used within the TCP/IP network protocol to identify a particular connection on a network (such as the internet). Addresses within IPv4, the current standard, consist of 4 bytes expressed in decimal and separated by a period, e.g. 192.168.0.1. IPv6 addresses are somewhat more complicated.
