A dot address (sometimes known as a dotted quad address) refers to the notation that expresses the four-byte (32-bit) IP address as a sequence of four decimal numbers separated by dots. Each number represents the binary value of one of four bytes. Look at this Internet address, for example: 205.245.172.72.
In 1974, after many failed attempts, a paper published by Vint Cerf and Bob Kahn, also known as âthe fathers of the Internet,â resulted in the protocol TCP (Transmission Control Protocol), which by 1978 would become TCP/IP (with the IP standing for Internet Protocol).
Internet was not invented by any single person but it was a group of ideas put forward. The main reason as to what lead to the development of the internet was the US Military â¦ which created the ARPA or Advanced Research projects Agency in 1957 to invent new technologies that could help the US Military.
