IP

Definition: The Internet Protocol (IP) is used to deliver data packets to their proper destination. Each packet contains both the originating and destination IP address. Each router or gateway that receives the packet will look at the destination address and determine how to forward the packet on. The packet will be passed from device to device in this way until it reaches its destination.

Also Known As: Internet Protocol

Tony Bradley

I have a passion for technology and gadgets--with a focus on Microsoft and security--and a desire to help others understand how technology can affect or improve their lives. I also love spending time with my wife, 7 kids, 4 dogs, 7 cats, a pot-bellied pig, and sulcata tortoise, and I like to think I enjoy reading and golf even though I never find time for either. You can contact me directly at tony@xpective.net. For more from me, you can follow me on Threads, Facebook, Instagram and LinkedIn.
