A network’s devices are identified by a string of digits known as an Internet Protocol (IP) address.
“Internet protocol” is referred to as IP. For any device connected to your network, your router IP serves as an identification number. For the router to recognize it and send data packets to it, a device (such as a computer or smartphone) needs to have an IP address. Your internet is what it is because of the data packets. These data packets are what allow you to view a new website, watch a video, or listen to music.
Your IP address functions as a little tracker that informs the internet of your whereabouts and activities. It also discloses where you are.
