<span class="extiw">Internet Protocol version 4 (IPv4)</span> is an <span class="extiw">internetwork</span> protocol that is active at the <span class="extiw">internet layer</span> according to the <span class="extiw">TCP/IP model</span>, it was developed in 1981 within a project managed by <span class="extiw">Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency</span>. In the following years, the use of IPv4 grew to dominate data networks around the world, becoming the backbone of the modern <span class="extiw">Internet</span>. In this survey, we highlight the operation of the protocol, explain its header structure, and show how it provides the following functions: Quality of service control, host addressing, data packet fragmentation and reassembly, connection multiplexing, and source routing. Furthermore, we handle both address-related and fragmentation-related implementation problems, focusing on the <span class="extiw">IPv4 address space exhaustion</span> and explaining the short and long terms proposed solutions. Finally, this survey highlights several auxiliary protocols that provide solutions to IPV, namely address resolution, error reporting, multicast management, and security.
