What is the Alias?

I'm using the HiLook app on my iPad. The system is working fine, but I was wondering why the Alias IP is different from the Address IP. Should they both be the same IP?

Thank you

Excerpt (good ol' Google):

In the context of IP Addressing, Aliasing refers to the process of creating and configuring multiple IP addresses on a single Network Interface. By having aliased IP addresses, you can create multiple connections to a network for an individual node on a network where each connection can serve for a different purpose.​
