TCP/IP
TCP/IP stands for Transmission Control Protocol / Internet
Protocols. The Transmission Control Protocol(TCP) and the
Internet Protocol(IP) were the first networking protocols
defined during its development. TCP/IP can also be used as a
communications protocol in a private network. TCP/IP is a
two-layer protocol. When data is to be sent from one
computer to another over internet, it is first broken into
smaller packets which are actually sent. When these packets
are received by the receiver computer, they are assembled
into the original message. This job of dividing the original
message into packets and re-assembling the received
packets into the original message is done following TCP
protocol. Internet protocol is followed to ensure that each of
these packets gets to the right destination. Different packets
from the same message may be routed differently, but they
reach the same destination and are reassembled there.
