The Internet protocol suite consists of a well-defined set of

communications protocols and several standard application protocols.

 

Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) is probably

 

the most widely known and is a combination of two of the protocols (IP

 

and TCP) working together. TCP/IP is an internationally adopted and

 

supported networking standard that provides connectivity between

 

equipment from many vendors over a wide variety of networking

 

technologies.

which data is being sent and the address of the destination network. IP

 

addresses have the format n.n.n.x where n is a decimal number

 

between 0 and 255 and x is a number between 1 and 254 inclusive.

 

However, an IP Address alone is not enough to make your device

 

operate. In addition to the IP address, you need to set a subnet mask.

 

All networks are divided into smaller sub-networks and a subnet mask

 

is a number that enables a device to identify the sub-network to which

 

it is connected.
