ipv4

IP (version 4) addresses are 32-bit integers that can be expressed in hexadecimal notation. The more common format, known as dotted quad or dotted decimal, is x.x.x.x, where each x can be any value between 0 and 255. For example, 192.0. 2.146 is a valid IPv4 address. IPv4 still routes most of today’s internet traffic. IPv4 uses a 32-bit address while IPv6 uses a 128-bit address.
