15 Minute Series What is an IP Address?


These four sections represent both the machine itself, or host, and the network that the host is on.

The network portion of the IP address is allocated to Internet Service Providers (ISPs) by the InterNIC, under authority of the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA).

ISPs then assign the host portion of the IP address to the machines on the networks that they operate.
