The address of a host (computer) on the Internet, consisting of four numbers, each from 0 to

network ID that
identifies the particular network the host belongs to, and a host ID uniquely identifying the host
itself on that network. A network mask is used to define the network ID and the host ID.

that can be specified instead. See
