rules that allows different types of computers to communicate with each other. The IP protocol
ensures that each computer that is connected to the Internet is having a specific serial number
called the IP address. TCP specifies how data is exchanged over the internet and how it should
be broken into IP packets. It also makes sure that the packets have the information about the
source of the message data, the destination of the message data, the sequence in which the
message data should be re-assembled, and checks if the message has been sent correctly to
the specific destination.
