IP represents: Internet Protocol, the
network layer for the TCP/IP protocol suite widely used on Ethernet networks,
defined in STD 5, RFC 791. IP is a connectionless, best-effort packet switching
protocol. It provides packet routing, fragmentation and re-assembly through the
data link layer.
What is a static IP? Every computer
on the internet is identified by a unique number called an IP address. Each time
you connect to the Internet your machine is assigned an IP address. If you have
a static IP address you get the same number each time you connect. If you have a
dynamic IP address a number is assigned from a pool if addresses maintained by
your ISP (Internet Service Provider) on a first-come basis. Thus you can get a
different IP address each time you connect.
