Network Protocol
Internet Protocol (IP)
The Internet Protocol (IP) is a core network protocol responsible for addressing and routing packets from a source to a destination across multiple interconnected networks. IP functions on a best-effort basis, meaning it does not independently guarantee packet arrival, sequence order, or delivery speed.
