I was able to see my private IP address in my Android phone. While goggling what is my ip
I got my public IP. As per my knowledge, In case of broadband connection Public IP is assigned by ISP
and router holds the private IP address. whenever the packet is received by router via public IP it transfers to the private IP.
What happens in case of mobile data network? is there is any concept called router in Android mobile. If not what is difference for private and public IP
concept in Android mobile
Why do you think it’s a private IP? They are not internet routable, by definition. – Daniel B – 2015-01-03T11:11:14.497
yes, the provider network does implement routers/gateways between their network and their upstream bandwidth providers. you may pass through many private/internal networks as your communication travels from gateway to gateway across the internet. Only the gateways between providers networks need public IPs. everything within their network however is likely private. – Frank Thomas – 2015-01-03T11:17:09.350
@DanielB He didn't say the private IP was sent out on the internet did he. In theory it's possible to have a public IP and a private IP. Why don't you download a terminal app and see for yourself. On my phone I have a private IP. And I don't see why that shouldn't be possible. A device could get a public IP do NAT provide a private IP to itself. In doing that it would block incoming connections which is more secure. – barlop – 2015-01-03T12:19:44.277
Ah, guess I misread, sorry about that. – Daniel B – 2015-01-03T12:22:06.163
@DanielB You're probably right re carrier grade NAT. And To Vinoth can you state what you are using to view this private IP? – barlop – 2015-01-03T12:57:56.347
