To connect to the Internet, a computer or device must have an address. There are two addressing systems in use: Internet Protocol version 4 (IP4) and Internet Protocol version 6 (IP6). IP addresses for PCs, printers, etc. are in the IP4 format, but current operating systems are capable of using IP6. IP4 uses four binary octets (8 bits). Octet is the term commonly used when addressing; byte is the term used for 8 bits in memory, etc. To make it easier for humans to work with, the IP address is presented as a decimal number, each octet separated by a dot. A typical binary IP address might be, for example, 01001000000011101100110010010011, which is not easy for humans to read. If we break it up into 8-bit units, 01001000.00001110.11001100.10010011, then convert each 8-bit octet to its decimal equivalent, we get 72.14.204.147 – this is much easier for human use. Let's convert 72.14.204.147 → binary…
