I understand the "more than just a number" context well from other comments:
Access to use an IP address is a ticket to go online, not just the ticket's number.
The fact that an IPv4 address can be decomposed into four quads has nothing to do with that point.
My comment, said differently, is that the syntax of an IP address is the wrong focus to make a "more than just a number" point.
- cassianoleal 3y agoMy comment, literally everything after the only bit you seem to have read, contextualises and explains why it's important. Sure, it's not the raw fact that it's 4 octets. It's the fact that it's not any other number, especially the fact that it's a finite resource.
