This article will briefly talk about the basics of TCP/IP – Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol. We will break up the TCP/IP protocol into it’s two basic components, TCP and IP protocols, and learn the basics of them. We will also have a look the the ways the 2 protocols basically work.
What is TCP/IP – Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol?
The TCP/IP – Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol is the actual implementation of the TCP/IP Model. The protocols that are part of the TCP/IP protocol suite work together to bring the TCP/IP Model/concept to life.
TCP/IP protocol is also know as the Internet Protocol Suite. TCP/IP is a collection of networking protocols that work with each other to transfer data from one computer to the other.
In spite of being a collection of Protocols, Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and Internet Protocol (IP) are the 2 most important protocols in the suite.
