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 />
