What Is An IP Address ?
Apa
itu Alamat IP ?
IP Address is stand for Internet Protocol Address.
According
to Wikipedia, an Internet Protocol address (IP address) is a
numerical label that is assigned to devices (printers, routers, modems, etc)
participating in a computer network that uses the Internet Protocol for
communication between its nodes. An IP address serves two principal functions:
host or network interface identification and location addressing. Its role has
been characterized as follows: "A name indicates what we seek. An
address indicates where it is. A route indicates how to get there."
Menurut Wikipedia, sebuah alamat Internet Protocol adalah sebuah
label angka yang diberikan pada peralatan-peralatan seperti printer, routers,
modem di dalam sebuah jaringan computer yang menggunakan internet protocol
untuk berkomunikasi diantara masing-masing titik. Alamat IP melayani dua fungsi
utama yaitu : sebagai Interface identifikasi host atau network dan sebagai
alamat lokasi. Aturan ini sudah dikarakteristikan sebagai berikut : “sebuah nama menunjukkan apa yang kita cari.
Sebuah alamat menunjukkan dimana letaknya. Sebuah rute menunjukkan bagaimana
bisa smapai ke sana
“
There
is a standard of communication which is called an Internet Protocol standard (IP). In laymans terms it is the
same as your home address. In order for you to receive snail mail at home the
sending party must have your correct mailing address (IP address) in your town (network). The same is true for all
equipment on the internet. Without this specific address, information cannot be
received. IP addresses may either be assigned permanently for an Email
server/Business server or a permanent home resident or temporarily, from a pool
of available addresses (first come first serve) from your Internet Service Provider. A permanent number may
not be available in all areas and may cost extra so be sure to ask your ISP. 
Ada sebuah standard
komunikasi yang disebut sebuah standard Internet Protocol. Di dalam istilah
Laymans sama halnya seperti alamat rumah anda. Agar supaya anda dapat menerima surat di rumah anda, pihak pengirim harus memiliki alamat
pengiriman yang benar (alamat IP) di kota
anda (Network). Hal yang sama juga berlaku untuk semua peralatan yang digunakan
pada internet. Tanpa alamat yang khusus, informasi tidak akan diterima. Alamat
IP bisa diberikan secara permanent untuk sebuah server Email atau server
Business atau sebuah tempat tinggal permanent atau temporary.
Domain Name System (DNS): This allows the IP address to be translated to words. It
is much easier for us to remember a word than a series of numbers. The same is
true for email addresses.
For example, it is much easier for you to remember a web address name such as
jakartalantern.com than it is to remember 192.168.1.1 or in the case of email
it is much easier to remember
This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it
than
This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it
.1.1
Dynamic IP Address: An IP address that is not static and could change at any
time. This IP address is issued to you from a pool of IP addresses allocated by
your ISP or DHCP Server. This is for a large number of customers that do not
require the same IP Address all the time for a variety of reasons. Your
computer will automatically get this number as it logs on to the network and
saves you the trouble of having to know details regarding the specific network
configurations. This number can be assigned to anyone using a dial-up
connection, Wireless and High Speed Internet connections. If you need to run
your own email server or web server, it would be best to have a static IP.
Static IP Address: An IP address that is fixed and never changes. This is in
contrast to a dynamic IP address which may change at any time. Most ISP's a
single static IP or a block of static IP's for a few extra bucks a month.
IP version 4: Currently used by most network devices. However, with more and more
computers accessing the internet, IPv4 addresses are running out quickly. Just
like in a city, addresses have to be created for new neighborhoods but, if your
neighborhood gets too large, you will have to come up with an entire new pool
of addresses. IPv4 is limited to 4,294,967,296 addresses.
IP version 5: This is an experimental protocol for UNIX based systems. In keeping
with standard UNIX (a computer Operating System) release conventions, all
odd-numbered versions are considered experimental. It was never intended to be
used by the general public.
IP version 6: Due to the enormous growth of the Internet and the predicted
depletion of available addresses, a new addressing system (IPv6), using 128
bits for the address, was developed in 1995, standardized by RFC 2460 in 1998,
and is in world-wide production deployment. IP version 6 is the replacement
for the aging IPv4. The estimated number of unique addresses for IPv6 is
340,282,366,920,938,463,463,374,607,431,768,211,456 or 2^128.
The
old and current standard of addresses was this: 192.168.100.100 the new way can
be written different ways but means the same and are all valid:
*
1080:0000:0000:0000:0000:0034:0000:417A
*
1080:0:0:0:0:34:0:417A
*
1080::34:0:417A
