a computer or device on a TCP/IP network. Networks using the TCP/IP protocol route messages
based on the IP address of the destination. The format of IP address is a 32-bit numeric address
written as four numbers separated by periods. Each number can be 0 to 255. Some examples of IP
addresses are: 192.168.1.2, 10.324.1.3 and 109.134.2.2.

As seen in the above examples, the numbers in an IP address are in the decimal form. When an
IP address is processed, the computer converts these numbers into binary form internally. The
following is an example of IP address in the decimal form: 192.168.1.10

The preceding IP address in its binary form is: 11000000.10101000.00000001.00001010
