| - | The [[ddsf:private:cookbook:06_append:glossary:i:ip]] address is the core component on which the networking architecture is built; no network exists without it. An IP address is a logical address that is used to uniquely identify every node in the network. Because IP addresses are logical, they can change. They are similar to addresses in a town or city because the IP address gives the [[ddsf:private:cookbook:06_append:glossary:n:netnode|network node]] an address so that it can communicate with other nodes or networks, just like mail is sent to friends and relatives. | + | The [[ddsf:public:guidebook:06_append:glossary:i:ip]] address is the core component on which the networking architecture is built; no network exists without it.
