The Basics of TCP/IP
August 16, 1999
TCP/IP (The Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol)
is the protocol suite that drives the Internet.
Specifically, TCP/IP handles network communications
between network nodes (computers, or nodes, connected to
the net).
The suite is actually composed of several protocols including
IP which handles the movement of data between host computers,
TCP which manages the movement of data between applications,
UDP which also manages the movement of data between
applications but is less complex and reliable than TCP, and
ICMP which transmits error messages and network traffic
statistics.
