In a network, every computer has its own unique identification. TCP/IP is the standard protocol for interacting on a network, and an IP address is used to identify a machine on a network.
For each machine on the network that utilizes the Internet Protocol for communication, a unique IP address, or IP address, has been allocated.
Internet Protocol (IP) addresses come in two varieties. the IPv4 and the IPv6 protocols (IPv6). To generate an IPv4 address, 32 binary bits are used. Four digits are separated by decimals in an IPv4 address.
Eight sets of hexadecimal integers are separated by colons to provide a unique IPv6 address. In addition to the IPv4 addresses, more computers are beginning to use IPv6 addresses.
Over 4.294 billion unique addresses are assigned to the IPv4 protocol, however, only 600 million of them are available for public usage. The remaining IP addresses are assigned to nations by the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA). Not all allocations are directly related to population size.
The United States has the most IP addresses (1,541,605,760) out of a total of over 4 billion. About 4,911 IP addresses per 1,000 individuals is the result of this calculation. An estimated 35.9% of all IP addresses belong to this category.
With 330,321,408 IP addresses, China comes in second place, accounting for 7.7 percent of all IP addresses. Japan comes in second with 202,183,168 people, followed by the UK with 123,500,144. IP addresses in Germany are the fifth-largest in the world.
The Vatican City State has the fewest IP addresses of any sovereign state, with a population of little over a thousand. This means that for every 1,000 persons, there are 21,435 unique IP addresses.
Over 875 million bogons, or fictitious IP addresses, are included in the 4.294 billion IP addresses. As far as the IANA is concerned, bogon IP packets don’t fall within any of its allotted or delegated IP ranges.
Internet service providers and firewalls often block bogons because they have no use and often originate from misconfigurations that are either inadvertent or malicious.
Below shows the total number of IP addresses in each nation, as well as the total number of IP addresses per capita and the country’s share of the total IP addresses.
