TCP/IP Protocol Suite

The TCP/IP Protocol Suite is a set of rules that enables devices like computers and smartphones to communicate over the internet. It organizes how data is packaged, sent, and received, ensuring messages reach the correct destination. TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) manages reliable data transfer, confirming that information arrives intact, while IP (Internet Protocol) handles addressing and routing, directing data through networks. Together, they form the foundation of internet communication, allowing diverse devices to share information seamlessly across local and global networks.
