About TCP/IP Level Features
IP provides basic packet delivery service for all TCP/IP networks. The
connection-oriented TCP exchanges control information with a remote device to
verify that the device is ready to receive data before it is sent. However, IP uses other
protocols to establish the connection and to supply error detection and recovery such
as ICMP.
