What is IP Address ? What are the classification and range of a Public IP Address and a Private IP Address?

Define the  term IP address .

Highlight types of IP addressing typesa.A public IP address is assigned to a device directly connected to the internet. It is globally routable and can be accessed from the internetb.Private IP addresses are used within a private network and are not routable over the internet. They are reserved for use within private networks.c.Subnetting involves dividing a larger network into smaller, more manageable subnetworks. It allows for better organization and management of IP addressesd.IPv4 (Internet Protocol version 4) addresses are 32-bit numerical labels assigned to devices participating in a computer network that uses the Internet Protocol for communication.e.Dynamic IP addresses are automatically assigned by a DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) server when a device joins a network. The address may change over time.f.A static IP address is manually configured for a device and remains constant. It does not change unless reconfigured.g.IPv6 (Internet Protocol version 6) addresses are the next generation of IP addresses designed to address the limitations of IPv4, especially the exhaustion of available IPv4 addresses.h.The loopback address (127.0.0.1 in IPv4) is used to test network connectivity on a local device. Data sent to the loopback address is looped back to the device without being sent over the network
