IPv4
The most widely used addressing scheme of the internet, giving each device a numeric address like 192.168.0.1.
IPv4 (Internet Protocol version 4) is the rulebook for how data packets are addressed and routed across networks, using 32-bit addresses written as four numbers. It's the backbone layer a network stack must implement to talk to the internet at all, sitting beneath higher protocols like TCP and TLS. In microZeus it's part of the from-scratch network stack.
