IP
Network protocol common to all the devices connected to the Internet. The protocol handles the transmission of information divided into packets between an identified sender and an identified recipient (in the packet header) by a unique IP number. The transfer itself is performed by packet switching, i.e. the computer or the item of equipment receiving the packet of data is the correct recipient, or a relay node is responsible for redirecting the data to the correct recipient or to another relay. IPv4 and IPv6 are versions of this protocol.
