No two computers can have
the same IP address.
Who is the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority?
The Internet functions partly through the use of Internet parameters, such
as IP (Internet Protocol) addresses, domain names, autonomous system numbers (used in some
routing protocols), protocol numbers and port numbers. Each of these parameters must be unique.
Some examples:
No two computers can have
the same IP address.
No two Internet
applications can be associated with the same port number.
