The current IP address standard is 32 bits. IPv6 will increase the address length to 128 bits. An IP socket address is a combination of an IP address and IP port number, usually written with the IP address first followed by a colon and the port number (for example, 129.24.8.1:42). An IP socket allows multiple hardware devices or software services to "listen" to different message streams sent to the same IP address.
