TCP/IP
TCP/IP stands for Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol. It is quite simply a standard set of protocols that govern the basic workings of the Internet that was implemented in 1982.
The TCP part is all about ensuring that data is transmitted correctly between two computers. If any errors occur these are detected and the data is retransmitted. The data transmitted is split up into small portions called data packets. The IP part of TCP/IP is how these data packets are moved from one point to another. Each computer on the Internet has a unique IP address and the data packets are moved from the source to the destination through many different computers which is controlled via TCP/IP. This protocol is used on the Internet and also by computers which are part of a LAN.
