TEN THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT TCP/IP
1) What is TCP/IP?
TCP/IP is a suite of protocols that can be used to route information.
TCP/IP stands for Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol.
This suite of protocols can provide addressing in wide-area networks
(WANs) and can provide connectivity to a variety of hosts. TCP/IP is
the protocol that the Internet is built on.
2) What is TCP/IP Addressing?
A TCP/IP address is numeric identifier assigned to each host on the
network. Assigning a TCP/IP address allows the software assigned
TCP/IP address to be mapped to the hardware encoded MAC address
of the network interface card (NIC).
