RAM

Random Access Memory. Data in RAM can be accessed in random order, and quickly written and read.

IP Address

The terminal’s network address. Networks use IP addresses to determine where to send data that is being transmitted over a network. An IP address is a 32-bit number referred to as a series of 8-bit numbers in decimal dot notation (e.g., 130.24.34.03). The highest 8-bit number you can use is 254.
