An IP address identifies a network interface so packets can be routed to and from it.

IPv4 and IPv6

Private IPv4 ranges are commonly used inside local networks: 10.0.0.0/8, 172.16.0.0/12 and 192.168.0.0/16. Android may also use IPv6, so observations should account for both protocols.

Observe from Termux

ip route
getprop | grep -i dns

With the optional Termux:API add-on, termux-wifi-connectioninfo can provide authorized connection details. Do not scan addresses outside your own lab scope.
