AI overview
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.
