IPv4, or Internet Protocol version 4, is a fundamental protocol used for transmitting data across networks, most notably the internet. It uses a 32-bit addressing scheme, allowing for approximately 4.3 billion unique addresses, which are essential for identifying devices connected to a network. This protocol is part of the TCP/IP protocol suite, providing a framework for data communication and supporting various networking protocols and technologies.
