  IP address - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An IP address is a unique number that devices implementing the Internet Protocol use in order to identify each other on a network.
IP addresses are conceptually similar to phone numbers, except used in LANs (Local Area Network), WANs (Wide Area Network), and the Internet.
IP addresses are usually given out through a service called DHCP or the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol.

 RFC 791 (rfc791) - Internet Protocol   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
The originating protocol module of an internet datagram sets the identification field to a value that must be unique for that source-destination pair and protocol for the time the datagram will be active in the internet system.
For example, TCP protocol modules may retransmit an identical TCP segment, and the probability for correct reception would be enhanced if the retransmission carried the same identifier as the original transmission since fragments of either datagram could be used to construct a correct TCP segment.
Since internet protocol is a datagram protocol, there is minimal memory or state maintained between datagram transmissions, and each call on the internet protocol module by the user supplies all information necessary for the IP to perform the service requested.

Addresses in an Ethernet frame for an IP packet from A to E (after D) In summary, for direct communication, both the source IP address and the source Ethernet address is the sender's, and the destination IP address and the destination Ethernet address is the recipient's.
IP extracts the network portion of this IP address (223.1.3) and scans the first column of the table looking for a match.
The destination IP address is examined and found to match with epsilon's IP address, so the IP packet is passed to the upper protocol layer.

 Introduction to TCP/IP
IP - is responsible for moving packet of data from node to node.
IP operates on gateway machines that move data from department to organization to region and then around the world.
This "IP number" is a four byte value that, by convention, is expressed by converting each byte into a decimal number (0 to 255) and separating the bytes with a period.

 ITPRC - TCP/IP FAQ
These protocols work together to provide a basic networking framework that is used by many different application protocols, each tuned to achieving a particular goal.
IP does try to protect the packet's IP header, the relatively small part of each packet that controls how the packet is moved through the network.
IP is inherently unreliable, so TCP protects against data loss, data corruption, packet reordering and data duplication by adding checksums and sequence numbers to transmitted data and, on the receiving side, sending back packets that acknowledge the receipt of data.

 IP (Internet Protocol) (Linktionary term)
A subnet mask is an IP address feature that serves as a sort of template to indicate which bits in the IP address define the network and which bits define the host.
One of the original formulations of the proposals for a next-generation IP protocol was outlined in RFC 1752 (The Recommendation for the IP Next Generation Protocol, January 1995) and RFC 1753 (IPng Technical Requirements, December 1994).
IP addresses will be needed for the explosion in mobile wireless devices and embedded systems contained within everything from home entertainment systems to automobiles to alarm clocks.

 RFC 793 (rfc793) - Transmission Control Protocol   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
The TCP specification describes an interface to the higher level protocols which appears to be implementable even for the front-end case, as long as a suitable host-to-front end protocol is implemented.
If the lower level protocol is IP it provides arguments for a type of service and for a time to live.
Any lower level protocol will have to provide the source address, destination address, and protocol fields, and some way to determine the "TCP length", both to provide the functional equivlent service of IP and to be used in the TCP checksum.

 TCP/IP - a Whatis.com definition - see also: Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol
The higher layer, Transmission Control Protocol, manages the assembling of a message or file into smaller packets that are transmitted over the Internet and received by a TCP layer that reassembles the packets into the original message.
These protocols encapsulate the IP packets so that they can be sent over the dial-up phone connection to an access provider's modem.
Protocols related to TCP/IP include the User Datagram Protocol (UDP), which is used instead of TCP for special purposes.

IP networks also can be divided into smaller units called subnetworks or "subnets." Subnets provide extra flexibility for the network administrator.
IP multicasting (the ability to send IP datagrams to multiple nodes in a logical group) is an important building block for applications such as video.
IP is one of over 20 protocols that can be simultaneously routed and bridged by any of Cisco's routers.

Though the OSI protocols were designed to dominate the computer environment, TCP/IP remains the central piece in the complex interoperability puzzle.
Other protocols within the TCP/IP family are the Address Resolution Protocol (ARP), the Reverse Address Resolution Protocol (RARP), the Exterior Gateway Protocol (EGP), and the User Datagram Protocol (UDP).
IP, TCP, FTP, SMTP, and Telnet were part of the original DOD military standard, TCP/IP protocol suite promulgated in the late 1970s.

 IP   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
The IP (Internet Protocol) is a protocol which uses datagrams to communicate over a packet-switched network.
The IP protocol operates at the network layer protocol of the OSI reference model and is a part of a suite of protocols originally developed by the US Department of Defense (DoD).
In a LAN environment, the protocol is normally carried by Ethernet, but for long distance links, a data link protocol such as HDLC is usually used.

 What is IP? - A Word Definition From the Webopedia Computer Dictionary
IP specifies the format of packets, also called datagrams, and the addressing scheme.
Most networks combine IP with a higher-level protocol called Transmission Control Protocol (TCP), which establishes a virtual connection between a destination and a source.

 Picture Transfer Protocol over IP: Digital Photography Review
This new protocol is designed to work in a very similar way to PTP (that is the operating system will recognize a connected imaging device and offer transfer features) but that it works over the IP protocol.
Nikon's press release hints that this would be useful for transferring images over a wireless LAN, their current WT-1 only supports FTP protocol which can be a little complicated to set up.
The WT-1, however, uses FTP (File Transfer Protocol) as its transmission protocol, and thus requires the user to configure settings on the camera and the PC to be able to transfer data.
