It stands for Transmission Control Protocol/<br /> Internet Protocol. There are many network languages. TCP/IP is the one used on<br /> machines connected to the Internet. The way programs send and received data on<br /> the internet is via packets. A packet is one unit of information sent from one<br /> program to another. The IP part of TCP/IP is responsible for seeing that the <br /> packet goes to the correct place. The TCP part insures that the two programs<br /> have a sane and rational conversation using these packets. It is responsible for<br /> making sure all of the conversation has arrived, or asking for parts of it if <br /> they&#039;ve gotten lost along the way. TCP also makes sure the program sees the <br /> conversation in the order it was intended.<br /> <br /> All machines that access the internet must speak TCP/IP. They may speak other<br /> networking languages as well, such as AppleTalk (Macintoshes), <br /> NetBios(Windows), DECNET (Digital Equipment Corp), or Novell (another Windows<br /> network).</div>
