Hello guys and girls! Let me intoduce my name first. I am Ain Suraya binti Mohd Ridzuan. You all can call me Ain. Surely this is my official blog for science computer's assignment. I'm from Pahang Matriculation College. My blog is all about one of the topic in Science Computer in semester two named Internet Address.You all can visit my blog just in case if you wanna know more about Internet Address. Yeah, i think thats all for my intoduction. So enjoy! :)

1. What is an IP Address? IP Address is a network layer protocol address for a host in TCP/IP network. 2. How a host determines its IP address? A host determines its IP address during the boot-up process either from a configuration file stored in the local hard disk of the system or using a network protocol like RARP, DHCP, BOOTP from the servers in the network 3.What is the difference between a host name and an IP address? A host name is used to identify a host by human beings and higher level user applications. But IP protocol uses only IP addresses to identify a host in the network. A host-name is provided just as a convenience for users of the network and higher level applications. 4. How an IP address is represented? The following notation is used to represent an IP address. This notation is called the dotted decimal format: M.N.O.P, where M, N, O and P represent the first, second, third and fourth bytes of an IP address respectively. The size of each byte is 8 bits and the value of each byte can be from 0 to 255. For example, 192.9.205.21 is an IP address. 5. What is the use of an IP address? IP address is used to uniquely identify each host in a network. IP address is needed in order to communicate with other hosts in the network using the TCP/IP suite of protocols.
