Overview:
The Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) suite consists of complementary protocols and standards that work together to provide the functionality of the vast majority of modern networks. The Internet Protocol (IP) stands at the heart of this protocol suite, providing logical addressing and packet forwarding between different networks. In this topic, you will start to investigate the characteristics of IP by examining the structure of IPv4 packets, the format of IPv4 addresses, the differences between unicast, broadcast, multicast, and anycast addressing schemes.
