5 Basic Concepts of IP Networks
A group of two or more connected computers is referred to as a computer network. either by cabled connections or wireless networks, such as WiFi? with the intention of exchanging, sharing, or disseminating information, files, and resources.
Computer networks are constructed utilising a variety of networking devices (such as routers, switches, hubs, and so forth) (such as operating systems, firewalls, or corporate applications).
IP Address
An IP address is an identifier assigned to each computer connected to the internet, and it consists of four numbers separated by periods.
The Internet Protocol (IP)
An Internet Protocol (IP) network is a group of computers that share information using the internet protocol. The IP address is how each computer on the network connects to the internet.
Routers
A router is used to connect multiple networks.
This allows computers to communicate with each other across different networks.
Routers allow computers to talk to one another by translating data into packets. These packets travel through the router until they reach their destination.
Subnetting
If you need to share one network with several computers, you must divide it into smaller sections called subnets. Each subnet has its range of IP addresses.
Network Address Translation (NAT)
NAT allows you to use one computer as an access point for other devices on the same network. This means that you don't have to worry about sharing your Internet connection with others when you go online. However, NAT also makes it difficult for people outside your home network to reach your computer. You can overcome this limitation by using port forwarding.
