Definition

IP, or Internet Protocol, is a set of rules governing the format of data sent over the internet or local network. It is responsible for addressing and routing packets of data so that they can travel across networks and arrive at the correct destination. IP addresses are unique identifiers assigned to each device connected to a network, enabling communication between devices.
