IP addressing with IPv4 and IPv6

When we speak of a network, we speak of a set connected devices (we call them clients/nodes) where each device has its own use. Also there are some fundamental components every network has:

Router (this device connects your network to other networks like the internet)
Client

Like i said, your network contains several devices and each devices has to know how to connect to an other device. This will be done using an IP address. Using IP addresses enables you to have a very efficient network in terms of cabling. In the past there some coaxial based networks where every device was physically connected to each other.
