An Internal (Private) and an External (Public) IP address.

While, the External IP address is that visible to the the internet - the websites, the internet connected Apps so on. By default, Routers with NAT (all routers today have it) assign same Public IP address to all devices under its network.

It is a very simple protocol used for transmission of IP datagrams across a serial line.
