What is my IP?

 What does IP mean? (Internet Protocol)

Internet Protocol (IP) is the protocol governing the transmission of data from one computer to another on the internet. Every computer, referred to as a host, is assigned at least one unique IP address for identification amid all other computers on the internet.

In essence, IP addresses serve as identifiers facilitating the exchange of information between devices on a network. They include location information, enabling devices to be reachable for communication. The internet requires a mechanism to distinguish between various computers, routers, and websites.
