Predators & defenses : Many different types of animals prey on adult sea urchins, including birds, sea otters, fishes, crabs, lobsters, octopuses, and sea stars. Eggs and larvae of sea urchins are eaten by many types of carnivorous zooplankters and by suspension-feeding invertebrates including hydroids, sea anemones, and mussels, just to name a few.
IPv4 (Internet Protocol Version 4) is the fourth revision of the Internet Protocol (IP) used to to identify devices on a network through an addressing system. The Internet Protocol is designed for use in interconnected systems of packet-switched computer communication networks (see RFC:791).
TCP/IP and OSI/RM. Internet Protocol (IP) As seen in the figure above, the Internet protocol stack provides a connection oriented reliable branch (TCP) and an connectionless unreliable branch (UDP) both build on top of the Internet Protocol. The Internet Protocol layer in the TCP/IP protocol stack is the first layer that introduces the virtual network abstraction that is the basic principle of the Internet model. All physical implementation details (ideally even though this is not quite true) are hidden below the IP layer.
