Internet Protocols

Internet Protocols are a set of rules that dictate how data is transmitted over the internet. They ensure that devices, like computers and smartphones, can communicate with each other effectively. Each device is assigned a unique address, known as an IP address, which helps direct the data to the correct destination. Protocols, such as TCP/IP, manage how data packets are sent, received, and reassembled, ensuring that information arrives intact and in the right order. These standards are essential for everything from browsing websites to sending emails, enabling seamless online interactions.
