IP address

An IP address is a numerical label used to identify a connection point on a network that uses the Internet Protocol and to route data to its destination. The two versions in use are IPv4, with 32-bit addresses, and IPv6, with 128-bit addresses. Because it is tied to a network connection, an IP address differs from a device fingerprint, which combines browser and device settings to identify a device, and it does not necessarily point to a particular person.
