In Summary, TCP Is The Data. IP Is The Internet Location GPS

TCP/IP allows computers to communicate over the Internet by compiling data into packets and sending them to the correct location. TCP takes large amounts of data, compiles it into packets, and sends them to be received by another TCP layer and turned back into usable data. IP is responsible for the location aspect, allowing packets to be sent and received at the right destination.

TCP/IP allows one computer to talk to another computer via the Internet through compiling packets of

data and sending them to right location.

A network packet is a unit of data transmitted from one location to another. Much like the atom
is the smallest unit of a cell, a packet is the smallest unit of transmitted information over the
Internet.

Two Layers

The top layer, TCP, is responsible for taking large amounts of data, compiling it into packets and sending
them on their way to be received by a fellow TCP layer, which turns the packets into useful
information/data.

The bottom layer, IP, is the locational aspect of the pair allowing the packets of information to be sent
and received to the correct location.

In summary, TCP is the data. IP is the Internet location GPS


IPX/SPX stands for Internetwork Packet Exchange/Sequenced Packet Exchange. IPX and SPX
are networking protocols used primarily on networks using the Novell NetWare operating systems.

IPX is a network layer protocol (layer 3 of the OSI Model), while SPX is a transport layer protocol (layer 4 of
the OSI Model).

the IPX protocol having similarities to IP, and SPX having similarities to TCP

NetBEUI: NetBIOS Extended User Interface is a protocol used primarily on small Windows NT networks.

AppleTalk: AppleTalk is a protocol suite used to network Macintosh computers.

HTTP: Hypertext Transfer Protocol governs how files such as text, graphics, sound, and video are exchanged on the
World Wide Web (WWW).

FTP: File Transfer Protocol provides services for file transfer and manipulation. FTP allows multiple simultaneous
connections to remote file systems.

SSH: Secure Shell is used to securely connect to a remote computer.

Telnet: It is an application used to connect to a remote computer that lacks security features.

POP3: Post Office Protocol is used to download e-mail from a remote mail server.

IMAP: Internet Message Access Protocol is also used to download e-mail from a remote mail server.

SMTP: Simple Mail Transfer Protocol is used to send e-mail to a remote e-mail server.
