IP address Internet Protocol address
The address of a host (computer) on the Internet, consisting of
four numbers, each from 0 to 255, separated by periods, e.g.,
209.191.4.240. An IP address consists of a network ID that
identifies the particular network the host belongs to, and a host ID
uniquely identifying the host itself on that network. A network
mask is used to define the network ID and the host ID. Because
IP addresses are difficult to remember, they usually have an
associated domain name that can be specified instead. See also
domain name, network mask.
