TCP/IP TCP/IP stands for Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol. It is quite simply a standard set of
protocols that govern the basic workings of the Internet that was implemented in 1982.
The TCP part is all about ensuring that data is transmitted correctly between 2 computers. If any errors
occur these are detected & the data is retransmitted. The data transmitted is split up into small portions
called Data packets. The IP part of TCP/IP is how these data packets are moved from one point to another.
Each computer on the internet has a unique IP address & the data packets are moved from the source to
the destination through many different computers & this is controlled via TCP/IP. This protocol is used on
the Internet & also by computers which are part of a LAN.
