IP Address Information
An IP address (Internet Protocol address) is a unique address that identifies a device on a network. It
is a 32-bit number for IPv4 addresses and a 128-bit number for IPv6 addresses. IP addresses are used to
route data between devices on a network.
IPv4
IPv4 is the older version of IP addressing. It uses 32-bit addresses expressed in four groups of numbers
separated by periods (e.g., 192.168.0.1), which means that there are a total of 4.29 billion possible
addresses. IPv4 addresses are divided into two parts: the network ID and the host ID. The network ID
identifies the network that the device is on, and the host ID identifies the device on the network.
IPv6
IPv6 is the newer version of IP addressing. It uses 128-bit addresses, which means that there are a total
of 340 undecillion possible addresses. IPv6 addresses are not divided into network IDs and host IDs.
Instead, they are all 128 bits long.
IP Location
IP location is the process of determining the physical location of a device based on its IP address. This
can be done by using a service that correlates IP addresses with geographical locations.
ISP (Internet Service Provider)
An ISP (Internet Service Provider) is a company that provides internet access to individuals and
businesses. ISPs assign IP addresses to their customers, and they can also be used to determine the
location of a device.
Device Type
The device type is the type of device that is using the IP address. This can be a computer, a smartphone,
a tablet, or any other device that is connected to the internet.
OS (Operating System)
The OS (Operating System) is the software that controls the device. This can be Windows, macOS, Linux,
iOS, or Android.
OS Versions
The OS version is the specific version of the operating system that is installed on the device. For
example, a Windows device might be running Windows 10 version 21H2.
Browser
The browser is the software that is used to view web pages. This can be Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Safari, or
any other web browser.
User Agent
The user agent is a string of characters that identifies the device and the software that is being used
to access a website. This information can be used to track the popularity of websites and to target
advertising.
