The IP address is the address of each device (computer, phone, tablet, IoT devices, etc.) that communicates using the internet protocol (IP).) is the unique identifier. This address allows devices to communicate with each other over the Internet.
How is the IP Address Generated?
IP addresses are issued by the internet service provider (ISP). The Internet service provider receives IP addresses from IP address blocks determined by the International Internet Authority (IANA) and distributes them to its subscribers.
IPv4 addresses are 32 bits long and consist of four parts separated by dots. Each section is represented by a number between 0 and 255.Dec. For example, an IP address such as "192.168.0.1" is an IPv4 address.
IPv6 addresses are 128 bits long and consist of 8 sections. Each section is represented by 4-digit hexadecimal numbers. For example, an IP address such as "2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334" is an IPv6 address.
After the Internet service provider provides IP addresses to its subscribers, these addresses are assigned to the subscribers' devices, such as modems or routers. These devices then distribute their IP addresses to other devices on the network.
How Can I Generate an IP Address?
No, it is not possible to generate an IP address. IP addresses are taken from IP address blocks determined by the internet service provider (ISP) and distributed to subscribers. These blocks are managed by the International Internet Authority (IANA).
A user can change or hide his own IP address. For this, it can use a virtual private network (VPN) or connect to proxy servers. However, these operations are only a temporary solution that allows the user to access the Internet. The user cannot change or generate the IP address provided by the ISP.
What Do I Need to Have In Order to Generate an IP Address?
If you are setting up an internet service provider (ISP), you need to get the IP addresses from the IP address blocks determined by IANA. You can request these blocks from IANA or your country's internet management authority (NIC).
The vast majority of the IP address blocks determined by the IANA are reserved for internet major providers (ISPs). Therefore, if you want to set up a small ISP, you may need to resort to alternative methods, such as renting some of the blocks from a large ISP or purchasing IP address rental services from other sources.
