πΎ The Digital Domain: Understanding IP Addresses
First things first, what's an IP address? It's like a home address for your pet's digital life. Just like your house has a physical address, your pet's devices (like a smart collar or a pet camera) need an IP address to connect to your home network.
But wait, there's more! IP addresses come in two flavors: IPv4 and IPv6. π½οΈ
-
IPv4 (192.168): This is the more common type and looks like a series of numbers separated by dots. It's like your street address, apartment number, and ZIP code all rolled into one. π
-
IPv6 (188.253): This newer type is longer and uses hexadecimal numbers. It's like a GPS location, providing a more precise and unique identifier for your pet's devices. π
