REFLECTION WRITING ON IP ADDRESS DATE: 18.11.2024

 

WHAT IS INTERNET PROTOCOL (IP) ADDRESS ?


IP address stands for “Internet Protocol address.” The Internet Protocol is a set of rules for communication over the internet, such as sending mail, streaming video, or connecting to a website. An IP address identifies a network or device on the internet. IP rights are important because they encourage creativity and innovation. By giving inventors and creators exclusive rights to their work, intellectual property laws allow them to profit from their investments and recoup their research and development costs.


WHAT IS TRANSMITTING DATA ?

Data transmission is sending and receiving digital or analog data between devices. This can be achieved through different mediums, such as cables, optical fibers, or wireless signalsData transmission, digital transmission or digital communications is the transfer of data over a point-to-point or point-to-multipoint communication channel. Examples of such channels include copper wires, optical fibers, wireless communication channels, storage media and computer buses.


 ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF PAKETS ?

ADVANTAGES

 Reduces lost data packets because packet switching allows for resending of packets. More cost-effective since there is no need for a dedicated channel for voice or data traffic.

DISADVANTAGES

Delay: Because packets can take different paths, they might arrive out of order, causing a slight delay as the data reassembled. For most things, this isn't a big deal, but for real-time services like video calls, it can be noticeable.


WHAT HAPPENS  IF PAKETS ARE LOST ?

Packet loss will generally reduce the speed of throughputthe actual amount of data that flows through the network—of a given connection. The term latency is a general term referring to many types of delays typically found in the processing of network data. Packet loss is one type of latency.
