Internet Protocol Suite

The Internet Protocol Suite, often referred to as TCP/IP, is a set of rules that govern how data is transmitted over the internet. It ensures that computers and devices can communicate effectively, regardless of their underlying technology. The suite consists of two main protocols: Transmission Control Protocol (TCP), which ensures data is sent accurately and in order, and Internet Protocol (IP), which handles the addressing and routing of data packets to their destinations. Essentially, it provides the framework that allows diverse devices to connect, share information, and access services across the vast network of the internet.
