How to generate IP address?
Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) uses an integrated algorithm to automatically generate these IP addresses.
Internet Service Providers (ISPs) receive blocks of IP addresses from the IANA, which are then distributed geographically by Regional Internet Registries (RIRs). ISPs are usually tailored for each of their clients.
Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol is used to generate unique IP addresses. which is known as (DHCP).
It uses a (DHCP) method. DHCP Technically speaking, IPv4 and IPv6 are the two primary versions of the Internet Protocol (IP).
DHCP is used to generate IP addresses. 192.168.0.1 is an example of a 32-bit IPv4 address. On the other hand, IPv6 addresses are 128-bit numbers represented in a hexadecimal format (e.9., 2001:0db8:85a3:0000).
How do IP Addresses Work?
An IP address allows computers to send and receive data over the internet. Most IP addresses are purely numerical, but as internet usage grows, letters have been added to some addresses.
There are four different types of IP addresses:
public, private, static, and dynamic. While the public and private are indicative of the location of the network—private being used inside a network while the public is used outside of a network—static and dynamic indicate permanency.
A static IP address is one that was manually created, as opposed to having been assigned.
A static address also does not change, whereas a dynamic IP address has been assigned by a (DHCP) server and is subject to change.
Dynamic IP addresses are the most common type of internet protocol addresses.
Dynamic IP addresses are only active for a certain amount of time, after which they expire. The computer will either automatically request a new lease, or the computer may receive a new IP address. An IP address can be compared to a Social Security Number (SSN) since each one is completely unique to the computer or user it is assigned to.
The creation of these numbers allows routers to identify where they are sending information on the internet. They also make sure that the correct devices are receiving what is being sent.
Much like the post office needs a mailing address to deliver a package, a router needs an IP address to deliver to the web address requested.
