How a Dynamic IP Address works?
- An infinite number of IP addresses was not anticipated by the internet’s designers when it was initially imagined.
- As a result, until the later introduction of IPv6, there were insufficient IP addresses to go around. Many Internet service providers (ISPs) circumvent this issue by limiting the quantity of static IP addresses.
- A dynamic IP address, which is comparable to a temporary phone number, is assigned to DHCP machines for the length of the internet connection or for a predetermined period of time.
- Users’ dynamic IP addresses are returned to the IP address pool once they disconnect from the internet, allowing another user to be allocated to them.
- The user’s communicates with the DNS service to obtain the IP address that has been assigned to it from the pool when the user registers with the service and connects to the internet using a dynamic IP address. After that, the service collaborates with the DNS server to send the requested DHCP machine the accurate address.
What is a Dynamic IP Address?
A Dynamic IP address is an IP address that shifts from time to time than a static IP address. Most Networks in homes are expected to have a dynamic IP address and the reason for this is because it is cost adequate for Internet Service Providers to allocate dynamic IP addresses to their customers.
Your IP address is pulled from a pool of addresses and then assigned to your home network by your ISP, as opposed to one IP address that is always assigned to your home network—a Static IP address. You are given a new IP address and that IP address is returned to the pool after a few days, weeks, or even months.
