What is TCP/IP?
TCP/IP technically applies to network communications in which
the TCP transport is used to deliver data across IP networks. Known as a
connection-oriented protocol, TCP works by establishing a virtual connection
between two devices via a series of request and reply messages sent across the
physical network.
The Transmission Control Protocol is one of the main protocols of the Internet
protocol suite. It originated in the initial network implementation in which it
complemented the Internet Protocol. Therefore, the entire suite is commonly
referred to as TCP/IP.
