Week 5 - TCP/IP Applications


TCP/IP, or Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol, is a group of communication protocols used to connect network devices on the internet. The entire Internet Protocol set -- a set of rules and procedures -- is commonly referred to as TCP/IP. TCP and IP are the two main protocols. These protocols work between internet applications and the routing/switching fabric.

What do people use their computers for? There are several applications that run on the TCP/IP protocol. Checking email, searching for a website, downloading and saving files... computers are used for many different functions, and it’s the applications that run on TCP/IP that allow people to use these functions and ultimately make your computer useful. Below is a list of common applications and what they are used for. Which ones are you familiar with?
