An Internet Protocol address (IP address) is a numerical label that is assigned to devices participating in a computer network that uses the Internet Protocol for communication between its nodes

IP address is uniq address of node which is used to communicate with other.

it seems your address is assigned by DHCP server. Read link provide in #2 it gives you basic understanding of ip address.

Seems to me this IP is given to you by your provider VeriSign

As was pointed out in an earlier post, these addresses belong to Verisign. Verisign is one of the companies that provides website security certificates. These certificates are used every time you connect to an HTTPS page. What is probably happening, assuming you are seeing a connection from your browser to these addresses, is that when you make a connection to a secure page, your browser is getting the certificate from the host and then verifying that it is a valid certificate. It will do this by making the connection to verisign and checking to make sure that the fingerprint of the certificate is valid (ie it hasn't been altered) and that it hasn't been revoked.
