Internet Protocol. Specifies addressing at [[layer 3]]. Usually used in conjunction with [[TCP]] and [[UDP]]. Currently, two forms are available. IPv4 is the most common, with a 32-bit addressing space. IPv6 deprecates IPv4, although adoption is slow. IPv6 uses a 128-bit addressing space, and includes autoconfiguration and IPSec.
