TABLE OF CONTENTS Internet protocol addressing (IP addressing) is the use of unique identifiers in a data packet that are assigned to a particular device or portion of a device (such as a port) within a system or a domain (portion of a system). IP addressing varies based on the version of Internet protocol. For IP version 4, this is a 32-bit address and for IP version 6, this is a 128 bit address. To help simplify the presentation of IPv4 addresses, it is common to group each 8 bit part of the IP address as a decimal number separated from other parts by a dot(.), such as: 207.169.222.45. For IPv6 it is customary to represent the address as eight, four digit hexadecimal numbers separated by colons, such as 1234:5678:9000:0D0D:0000:5678:9ABC:8777.
The EVDO system was designed to allow IP addressing of mobile devices. The system was specifically designed to allow IP communication sessions by simply encapsulating the IP packets into the EVDO radio packets.
The EVDO system permits the static or dynamic assignment of IP address-es. Static IP addressing can simplify the connection of services to mobile devices. Dynamic IP addressing can better manage a limited number of IP addresses and enhance the security of systems.
Static IP addressing is the process of assigning a fixed Internet Protocol (IP) address to a computer or data network device. Use of static IP address allows other computers to initiate data transmission (such as a video conference call) to a specific recipient.
