What are the parts of TCP/IP and what do they do? Who is the primary user of TCP/IP?
TCP/IP stands for Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol and is two parts.
part of the protocol is the one that contains a header of control information as to the source and
destination of the packet(s).
The destination port tells TCP where to send it, and then the source
tells the receiver what layer it’s from.
The IP part is the network layer part of the transmission.
There are two versions currently in use, and each one contains source and destination addresses
as well as the packet length and number.
The whole point of TCP/IP is to provide the
information necessary to transmit data.
The primary user of TCP/IP clients and servers.
