TCP/IP

Click on the image to zoom
  • A Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) is a suite of protocols used to transfer data from one computer to other computer. It is the technology behind the Internet and communications between the computers in a network.

  • The TCP is the transport part, which matches the size of the packets on either end and ensures that the correct packet has been received.

  • The second part, IP part is the user's computer address on a network. Every computer in a TCP/IP network has its own IP address that is either dynamically assigned at startup or permanently assigned.

  • All TCP/IP packets contain the address of the destination network as well as the address of the destination station. This enables TCP/IP messages to be transmitted to multiple networks (subnets) in a Metropolitan Area Network or Internet.
