Differences between Public and Private IP Addresses

There are two kinds of IP numbers used in computer networking: public and private. Here are some ways they are different:

1. Public IP addresses are used to identify a device on the internet, while private IP addresses are used to identify a device on a private network, like a home or office network.
2. Your internet service provider (ISP) gives you a unique public IP address, while anyone on a private network can give you a private IP address that is not unique.
3. You can get to a public IP address from anywhere on the internet, but you can only get to a private IP address from within the same private network.
4. On the internet, you can route to public IP addresses, but you can’t route to private IP addresses.
