What is an IP Address?
An IP address is a number assigned to a device on a network. This IP address allows your computer to be found on the network (the internet), allowing the packets to be routed to your computer. The most common version is IPv4 which is a 32 bit numeric address in the format www.xxx.yyy.zzz. The newer version, IPv6, is a 128 bit HEX address in the format of a1a1:b2b2:c3c3:d4d4:e5e5:f6f6:g7g7:h8h8. As more and more devices are connected to the internet it has become clear that IPv4 will not have enough addresses available for the future growth of the internet. As a result there is a push toward implementation of IPv6 across the internet.
What is an User Agent
Each bit of your user agent indicates something particular about your system.
In computing, a user agent is software (a software agent) that is acting on behalf of a user, such as a web browser that "retrieves, renders and facilitates end user interaction with Web content". For example, an email reader is a mail user agent.
In many cases, a user agent acts as a client in a network protocol used in communications within a client–server distributed computing system. In particular, the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) identifies the client software originating the request, using a user-agent header, even when the client is not operated by a user. The Session Initiation Protocol (SIP) protocol (based on HTTP) followed this usage. In the SIP, the term user agent refers to both end points of a communications session.
