Abstract:
The TCP/IP PROTOCOL SUIT is a protocol is a set of rules governing how data
are communicated or transferred in a network, The Transmission Control Protocol and
the Internet Protocol are two stand-out, significant protocols among other protocols which
are critical in their importance in reference to computer networking. The Transmission
Control Protocol / Internet Protocol, protocol suite also in nomenclature is referred to as
the Internet protocol suite because of which the Internet basically runs (i.e., The Backbone
Protocol of the Internet). The TCP/IP Protocol derived its name after two of its most central
protocols in its protocol suite namely: the (TCP) Transmission Control Protocol and the
(IP) Internet Protocol. The TCP/IP protocol suite also harboring other protocols is a
layered protocol suite, each layered level performs a dedicated function and
communicates to the layers next to it, in so channeling out network data transmission in
a specialized form in ensuring that a change in a particular layer dose not effect neither
preceding nor proceeding layers and thus specializes the handling of tasks (i.e., Data
Communication) in a hierarchical, task-oriented workflow. With that said layers a
supportive of each other do not work independently with the exclusion of other layers in
a general overview. Each layer is supported by two or more preceding layers. The TCP/IP
Protocols Suit reference model contains five layers in contrast to that of the OSI reference
model. The layers of the TCP/IP Protocol suite are relative to each other. Starting from
the lowest layer which is the physical layer that is known to handle the physical accessing
and redistribution of data, to that of the of highest layer: The application layer which
replaces and does the job of the top three layers of the OSI reference model namely: The
Application layer, Presentation layer and the Session layer, each with a defined
functionality in relaying to each other.
