Just to pick a nit, it is not three numbers [digits], it is a value,
from 0 to 255.  That is to say that an IP address is made up of four
octets.  An octet can be represented by a number from 0 to 255.  The
common notation of an IP address is the "doted notation" of the four
octet values seperated by "."s called dots.
