What is Inet address?

Answer Posted / sanoop jacob thomas

An Internet Protocol (IP) address is a numerical label for
devices used in a computer network. An IP address serves
two principal functions in networking: host identification
and location addressing.it is 32 bit for ip version 4 and
128 bit forip version 6.

Inet address is a class encapsulating both this ip address
and the domain name for this address.This class can be used
for getting the ip address of systems by providing the name
and vice versa.This is done by some functions in the class
such as getaddress(),getbyname()
