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.
