TCP/IP- is a suite of protocols used for computer to computer communication. It has 5 layers. It consists of 4 layers which is an improved version of OSI MODEL wherein the seven layers have been reduced to 4 layers. Application; Transport; IP Layer; Physical Access Layer.

To Rameshbabu

Host is PC which is connected to the Server and we need to provide IP address to that Host PC so that Pc can communicate to the server.

Hi,

Protocol - Set of rules and regulation which are necessary for communicatign the data between on or more computer.

TCP/IP- In same manner Transmission control Protocol and Internet Protocol are the group of the protocl which is supported by various operating system (windows , linux , sun , machintosh , polaris etc.) for communicating data frquently without interupption.

These protocols are follows IEEE standards.

TCP/IP full form is transmission control protocol / Internet protocol

TCP/IP is the commucation protocol in simple terms . Protocol here means set of rules being defined to establish connection between two nodes and have secure transfer between them.

There are various protocols to talk about when we are focusing tcp/ip

1) TCP  (Transmission Control Protocol)
2) IP     ( Internet Protocol )
3) UDP  ( User Datagram Protocol )
4) ICMP ( internet Control Message Protocol )
5) DHCP ( Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol)

TCP and UDP

TCP is basically concerned with the communication between the applications over the internet. It is reliable than UDP ( User datagram Protocol ). It is connection oriented protocol.

Responsibility of TCP is to create packet before it has been sent through network.

IP

IP here means Internet Protocol. It is connection less protocol. As it is connection less communication protocol it does not occupy communication line between the computers. This reduces the need of network lines. So many computer can interact each other.


Responsibility of IP protocol is to send the packet form by TCP to the destination. It should be send in correct address.


ICMP - Internet Control Message Protocol

ICMP takes care of error handling in the network.


DHCP

DHCP is used for allocation of dynamic IP addresses to computers in a network


Lastly i want to say that tcp and ip works together to have secure data transfer from one computer to another.

TCP/IP is Transmission Control Protocal/Internet Protocol

Wihtout NIC (Network Interface Card) TCP/IP cannot be installed. This is used for sharing computer data and files and also to share internet connections.

Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol, the suite of communications protocols used to connect hosts on the Internet. TCP/IP uses several protocols, the two main ones being TCP and IP. TCP/IP is built into the UNIX operating system and is used by the Internet, making it the de facto standard for transmitting data over networks. Even network operating systems that have their own protocols, such as Netware, also support TCP/IP.

TCP/IP is Transmission Control Protocol / Internet Protocol. Primarily it is a set of two communication protocols (TCP/UDP) that an application uses to package its information for sending across a network or networks.

TCP/IP is a protocol suite as it consists of a collection of protocols. this collection of protocols includes application protocols that helps to perform tasks as email, file transfers, and terminal emulation. the other additional supporting protocols like TCP and IP help to package the applications data for transmission. Apart from this there are protocols like Ethernet and Token Ring that help to transmit the data physically through the cable.

TCPIP is protocol use for communication between the systems it may be peer to peer to connection or other
TCP is used for sending the data
IP is used for sending the data to the particular system it means it identify the particular system.

TCP/IP is actually suit of protocols that provides the foundation for windows networks and the internet. It is connection oriented. It is based on four layer reference model including network interface layer, internet layer transport layer and application layer.

The Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) is one of the core protocols of the Internet protocol suite TCP provides reliable, in-order delivery of a stream of bytes, making it suitable for applications like file transfer and emaill. It is so important in the Internet protocol suite that sometimes the entire suite is referred to as "the TCP/IP protocol suite."

TCP/IP - Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol. The dominant protocol suite in the worldwide Internet, TCP is Layer 4, the transport layer. IP is Layer 3, the network layer.
