Internet Protocol

From MTU LUG Wiki

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.
