    Internet Protocol (IP) is the principal communication protocol that delivers packets of data called datagrams from source to destination hosts on the internet. Each IP datagram contains a header with the source and destination IP addresses and other metadata needed for routing, and a payload that contains the transported data. IP defines the format of datagrams including encapsulating the payload data within a packet header for routing and delivery across networks.

    IP (Internet Protocol)
    It is the principal communication protocol in the TCP/IP model
    Its task is to deliver a packet from the source host to the destination
    host
    The Internet Protocol defines the format of packets (datagrams)
    Each datagram has two components: a header and a payload.
    The header is tagged with the source IP address, the destination IP
    address and other metadata needed to route and deliver the datagram.
    The payload is the data that is transported.
    Nesting the data payload in a packet with a header is called
    encapsulation.
