When you encounter a sequence of digits partitioned by periods, such as 192.172.1.1, you're looking at an IP address. This one-of-a-kind identifier, never duplicated, is allocated to each individual game server. Such technological wizardry is essential for gamers to establish a digital bridge between their computer and the host system, or to weave a local network at home, enabling them to venture into a friend's or their own virtual realm, all from a single IP address.
