"New to networking—what is ip version 4 and how does it work?"
Hey everyone! So I’m just starting to learn about networking, and I keep hearing about *what is ip version 4*. Can someone break it down for me in simple terms?
From what I gather, it’s basically the OG internet address system—like your home address but for devices online. It uses numbers like 192.168.1.1 to ID stuff.
But how does it *actually* work? Like, how do devices use these numbers to talk to each other? And why’s it still everywhere if there’s a newer version (IPv6)?
Kinda confused, ngl. Any easy explanations or examples would be awesome!
Thanks in advance! 🙌
