Adresse IP publique

A box has an IP address that is “outward-looking” and materializes its address on the Internet network: it is the public IP address. This is the address that a server on which you want to perform. B transactions “sees”. It is his connection to the network. These addresses are used by the computers on the network to communicate with each other.
