1
00:00:00,210 --> 00:00:01,480
What are IP addresses?

2
00:00:01,500 --> 00:00:05,930
You probably heard before some of you might know, but just to go over very briefly, when you're an

3
00:00:05,940 --> 00:00:12,570
Internet or it's on a network, General, a computer has to have an IP address, an IP address, just

4
00:00:13,530 --> 00:00:18,630
as ID card kind of identifies who you are when you are a network.

5
00:00:19,110 --> 00:00:23,910
So IP addresses the phone numbers, just how people are going to be able to contact you.

6
00:00:24,180 --> 00:00:29,920
If someone wants to call you a city with, they've got to pull it, be a no hit call or type new messages,

7
00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:30,820
send it to that number.

8
00:00:30,850 --> 00:00:36,450
OK, so it's also important to know that, you know, two computers have the same address, just like

9
00:00:36,450 --> 00:00:38,490
you can't have the same phone number, someone else.

10
00:00:38,510 --> 00:00:39,550
It's impossible.

11
00:00:39,960 --> 00:00:43,010
So now you need to know, you know, how to data.

12
00:00:43,020 --> 00:00:44,890
How does data travel across networks?

13
00:00:44,910 --> 00:00:49,890
Now, we're going to keep this very high level just to make it very simple and just help you understand

14
00:00:50,250 --> 00:00:53,460
data travels in the forms of packets.

15
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:56,610
OK, so you can think of packets like envelopes.

16
00:00:56,610 --> 00:01:04,230
And inside of these envelopes is data that's just packed in there and then they're sent off.

17
00:01:05,010 --> 00:01:08,660
Now, each packet, like an envelope, has two addresses attached to it.

18
00:01:09,040 --> 00:01:11,640
It has a Swiss address, which is where it's coming from.

19
00:01:11,970 --> 00:01:17,280
And then also it has a destination address, which is where that packet is going to go.

20
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:24,510
So now you might know, you know, at your house, you have a router that you're, you know, like Verizon

21
00:01:24,510 --> 00:01:29,480
files or Comcast or someone set you up with a router that connect to the Internet.

22
00:01:29,790 --> 00:01:32,970
So this router does what its name says.

23
00:01:32,970 --> 00:01:34,020
It routes packets.

24
00:01:34,260 --> 00:01:39,810
So the routers read the packets is send them on the correct routes to the destination address.
