IPv4 (Internet Protocol version 4) is a popular and broadly used version of the IP. Thanks to the IPv4 addresses, it is possible to identify devices on the network. It includes 4 numbers between 0 to 255, divided by dots, for instance, 123.45.67.89, and it uses a 32-bit address space.
Networks are essentially communication – a non-stop interaction between machines exchanging information. To guarantee the success, efficiency, and security of that communication is a complex task. It can’t really be compiled through the use of a single technology. Instead, a combination of protocols and tools is what makes it possible.
The Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) is a communication protocol used to protect data exchanged between a client and a server. It has a specific way for organizing the data to keep their integrity, from the moment they are sent and until they are delivered. It’s a popular protocol used on many networks and supported by applications and devices.
