Classification of IP Address
An IP Address is basically classified into two types:

Difference between Private and Public IP addresses
IP Address or Internet Protocol Address is a type of address that is required to communicate one computer with another computer for exchanging information, file, webpage, etc. In this article, we will see the classification of IP Addresses and the differences between Public and Private IP Addresses. Before proceeding with that, let’s see what is an IP Address with an example.
If someone wants to send a particular file or a mail to you from his/her computer, then an address is required to communicate with you without the confusion of delivering that information to any other computer, that’s why an address is required and that address is called an IP Address. IP Address is unique for each computer.
