How do port numbers and IP addresses work together to facilitate session tracking in internet communication protocols like TCP/IP?
Port numbers and IP addresses are essential components of the TCP/IP suite that work together to facilitate session tracking in internet communication protocols. IP addresses are unique numerical labels assigned to devices connected to a network, allowing them to be identified and located. In contrast, port numbers are virtual communication endpoints that enable multiple services

What is IoT and how does it connect traditionally offline devices to the internet?
The Internet of Things (IoT) refers to the network of physical devices, vehicles, appliances, and other objects embedded with sensors, software, and connectivity capabilities that enable them to connect and exchange data over the internet. This interconnected network allows traditionally offline devices to become "smart" and enables them to communicate and interact with other devices
