Term:
TCP/IP
Definition:
Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol is a
combined set of protocols that performs the transfer of
data between two computers. TCP monitors and ensures
correct transfer of data. IP receives the data from TCP,
breaks it up into packets, and ships it off to a network
within the Internet. TCP/IP is also used as a name for a
protocol suite that incorporates these functions and others.
