TCP/IP Networking

TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) is the foundational communication system of the internet. It enables computers and devices to connect, share data, and communicate reliably across networks. TCP breaks data into small packets, ensuring they are sent correctly and in order, while IP assigns each device a unique address to direct traffic accurately. Together, they facilitate seamless, standardized communication between countless devices worldwide, allowing things like browsing websites, sending emails, and streaming videos to happen efficiently and securely.
