Understanding IP Addresses

This part delves into the concept of IP addresses and their significance in identifying devices on the internet.

Significance of IP Addresses

• Every device on the internet has a unique IP address, akin to physical addresses for buildings.

• IP addresses are represented as numbers separated by dots (e.g., 192.168.1.1), with each number ranging from 0 to 255.

Transition to IPv6

TCP Features

• TCP guarantees delivery by using sequence numbers. Phyllis includes a sequence number on the envelope along with source and destination addresses.

• Sequence numbers help in identifying missing packets for retransmission, ensuring reliable data delivery.

• Port numbers are used to identify the type of data inside the envelope. Common port numbers like 80 (HTTP) and 443 (HTTPS) are standard for web-related services.

• Phyllis assigns a port number on the envelope to indicate the type of service or program that should handle the data.

New Section
