How does your office laptop communicate with other computers? It uses network addresses called IP addresses! Think of an IP address like a delivery address. Your laptop might have the private IP address 192.168.1.10, while your colleague's computer uses 192.168.1.20. Private IP addresses are used inside local networks. When you browse the internet, your router typically uses Network Address Translation to share a public IP address. IPv4 looks like 192.168.1.10. IPv6 looks like 2001:db8::1. IPv6 supports a much larger number of addresses. Remember, IP addresses help network devices send data toward the correct destination. Follow for more real-life networking lessons!
