TCP/IP stand for Transmission Control Protocol/ Internet Protocol is a two layer program which is considered as the standard communication language designed to connect a networks to networks known as the internet or private networks such as the intranet or extranet.
TCP is one the main transport layers of the Internet Protocol Suite.[1] It is an effective transport service connection wherein a data is transferred with an end-to-end reliability from the source host to the destination host. TCP verifies the correct delivery of data and provides a support to check for errors, missing data and re-sends it to complete the data transfer.[2]
The Internet Protocol is the primary component of the Internet protocol Suite used by all internet transport protocols such as the TCP to carry data from the source to its destination. Its main functions include addressing, fragmentation and re-assembly of an internet datagram, type-of-service specification and security information.[3]
