Also known as Internet Protocol version 4, Internet Protocol v4
Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4) is the first version of the Internet Protocol (IP) as a standalone specification. It is one of the core protocols of standards-based internetworking methods in the Internet and other packet-switched networks. IPv4 was the first version deployed for production on SATNET in 1982 and on the ARPANET in January 1983. It is still used to route most Internet traffic today, even with the ongoing deployment of Internet Protocol version 6 (IPv6), its successor. IPv4 uses a 32-bit address space which provides 4,294,967,296 (232) unique addresses, but large blocks are re
IPv4 is the foundational protocol that directs data packets across the internet and other networks, having been in use since the early 1980s and remaining the primary method for routing internet traffic today. It identifies devices on a network using a 32-bit address system, which provides a finite number of unique addresses that devices can use to communicate with each other.
