What's the difference between ip.src and ip.src_host (and ip.dst and ip.dst_host and ip.addr vs ip.host)?

http://www.wireshark.org/docs/dfref/i/ip.html lists one as a type "Character" and another as type "IPv4 address"

 

ip.dst	IPv4 address	Destination	1.0.0 to 1.6.5
ip.dst_host	Character string	Destination Host	1.0.0 to 1.6.5

They return the same results, so what exactly does the "type" do?

 Thanks,
