TCP/IP stands for Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol. It's a framework for organizing communication protocols used in computer networks and the internet.
TCP/IP is made up of five layers: Physical, Data link, Network, Transport, Application. TCP/IP specifies how data should be: Packetized, Addressed, Transmitted, Routed, Received on a network.
The four main protocols used in TCP/IP are: Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) User Datagram Protocol (UDP) Internet Protocol (IP) Internet Control Message Protocol (ICMP)
TCP/IP is similar to the Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) model, which is also a way of transmitting data over the internet. The main difference between the two models is that the OSI model segments multiple functions that the TCP/IP model groups into single layers.
