Every computer on the Internet has a unique Internet Protocol (IP) address, and the Domain Name System makes using the Internet easier by allowing a familiar string of letters to be used instead of the IP address. Internet Protocol Address is a numerical label assigned to each device participating in a computer network that uses the Internet Protocol for communication. Autonomous System Numbers (ASN) are unique identifiers for a collection of networks, or routers that share a common set of routing policies.
