Nearly all computers today support TCP/IP. TCP/IP is the backbone of Internet.TCP/IP is network transmission protocol.So Let's have a look at what is TCP/IP and how does it work.
What is TCP/IP?
TCP stands for Transmission Control Protocol and IP stands for Internet protocol.These are set of rules which governs the internet.TCP/IP is the language which computer uses to access the internet.It consist of suite of protocols designed to established a network of networks to provide a host to access the internet.
How does TCP/IP Work?
As with any form of communication, two things are needed: a message to transmit and the means to reliably transmit the message. The TCP layer handles the message part. The message is broken down into smaller units, called packets, which are then transmitted over the network. The packets are received by the corresponding TCP layer in the receiver and reassembled into the original message.
The IP layer is primarily concerned with the transmission portion. This is done by means of a unique IP address assigned to each and every active recipient on the network.
TCP/IP is solely responsible for data connectivity and transmitting data end to end.TCP/IP contains four layers as follows
Four Layers of TCP/IP
1.Application Layer:-This layer deals with providing network services to applications.
2. Transport Layer:-This layer is responsible for the transmission of data.
3.Internet Layer:-This is the layer that contains the packet construct that will be transmitted
4.Network Access Layer:-This is the lowest level of the TCP/IP protocol stack and functions carried out here include encapsulation of IP packets into frames for transmission.
TCP/IP is considered a stateless protocol suite because each client connection is newly made without regard to whether a previous connection had been established
