What is an internet protocol (ip) address? how is it organized hierarchically?

An Internet Protocol address (IP address) is a numerical name allotted to every gadget associated with a PC network that uses the Web Convention for correspondence. An IP address serves two chief capacities:  

1) Host or network interface identification

2) Location addressing.

Hierarchical routing is the technique of organizing switches in a progressive way. A decent case is considering a corporate [intranet]. Most corporate intranets comprise of a rapid spine arrange. Associated with this spine are switches which are thus associated with a specific workgroup. These workgroups possess a one of a kind LAN. The reason this is a decent course of action is on the grounds that despite the fact that there may be many diverse workgroups, the traverse (hop count to get from one host to some other host on the system) is 2. Regardless of the possibility that the workgroups isolated their LAN organize into littler segments, the traverse could just increment to 4 in this specific case.

well cos like a ds it doesn't really die out, unlike for example, fifa, they always come out with a new version, so lets say your fifa 18 is charging you to update the teams and stuff, so, if messi were to go to real madrid (never gonna happen) it would switch messi to the other team, until the owners of fifa come out with fifa 19, then the game would eventually stop updating, and back to the ds, it doesn't really stop working after sometime because there's lots of things that it could be used for, and idk if u know what i'm saying, but long story short, samsung, represents the ds, if they still work, and people love them but not the new version, the old version still works, so they don't really force people to buy new phones, get me?
