TRANSMISSION CONTROL PROTOCOL/INTERNET<br />

PROTOCOL<br />

Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) is a suite of protocols;<br />

two of the components in the suite form the protocol’s name: TCP and IP.<br />

IP was developed as part of the TCP effort to provide logically addressed and<br />

structured networking. The primary role of IP is to provide logical addresses and<br />

support the routing of traffic to its destination.<br />
