==How Does the IP Operate?==

Each computer or device ~~which from the point of the IP is~~ known as '''"host"''' has at least one IP address which differentiates it from other computers. When data is ~~being~~ sent over the Internet, the information is divided into small bits known as "packages" which contain the Internet address of the sender (packet's origin) and the receiver ~~Internet~~ address (destination device). There are the two main numeric addresses and components of each data package.

Each computer or device, known as the '''"host"''', has at least one [[IP Address|IP address]] which differentiates it from other computers. When data is sent over the Internet the information is divided into small bits known as "packages", which contain the Internet address of the sender (packet's origin) and the receiver host address (destination device). There are the two main numeric addresses and components of each data package.

The Internet Protocol ~~has the~~ main duty to deliver these ~~small bits called~~ ''"packages~~"'' or ''"packets~~"'' to the right destination, but it is not responsible for the order in which ~~these packaged~~ arrive. Putting the packages into the right order to that the message/data/information is accurately ~~send~~ is ~~under~~ the responsibility ~~and duty~~ of [[TCP~~]] (~~Transmission Control Protocol).<ref>[http://searchunifiedcommunications.techtarget.com/definition/Internet-Protocol IP process]</ref>

The Internet Protocol's main duty is to deliver these ''"packages"'' to the right destination, but it is not responsible for the order in which the packages arrive. Putting the packages into the right order so that the message/data/information is accurately sent is the responsibility of the [[TCP|Transmission Control Protocol]].<ref>[http://searchunifiedcommunications.techtarget.com/definition/Internet-Protocol IP process]</ref>

The IP considers each package of data as a unique and independent unit of information but the IP must always be in contact with the [[TCP]] in order to send the message. The latest IP version is [[IPv6]] which succeeded [[IPv4]]. There are some important differences between IPv6 and IPV4 which make the last version more functional and effective.
