Introduction
TCP/IP stands for Transmission Control Protocol / Internet Protocol. TCP/IP is the communication protocol for communication between computers on the Internet. A computer communication protocol is a description of the rules computers must follow to communicate with each other.
TCP/IP defines how electronic devices (like computers) should be connected to the Internet, and how data should be transmitted between them.
TCP takes care of the communication between application software (i.e. browser) and network software. IP takes care of the communication with other computers.
TCP is responsible for breaking data down into IP packets before they are sent, and for assembling the packets when they arrive. IP is responsible for sending the packets to the correct destination. TCP/IP uses 32 bits, or four numbers between 0 and 255, to address a computer.
How Does TCP/IP Work?
The TCP/IP model consists of the Network layer, the Internet layer, the transport layer and the application layer. Each layer consists of a set of protocols that function on the level of that layer, and is responsible for performing certain operations on the data it receives and passing it to the higher layers. They each deal with certain issues related to the transmission of data and renders certain services to its higher layers.
The network layer protocols are responsible for connecting the nodes in a network.
The Internet layer consists of protocols, specifications and methods that are used to transport data packets across the network.
The transport layer protocols deal with the transmission of data packets between source and destination network hosts.
The application layer, the topmost layer in TCP/IP, directly interacts with application services. Also, TCP/IP functions at all the levels of communication between the components of a network.
