AN INTRODUCTION TO TCP/IP
The protocols that make intranets--and the Internet—work
ABSTRACT :-
One of the most important achievement of last decade is popularity of internet. Today internet has become part of our day to day life.TCP/IP in a broad sense can be explained as the concept on which internet works.The paper attempts to familiarize with some of the basic concepts of TCP/IP.It starts with a brief introduction of TCP/IP and provides the basics of it.It also gives a brief origin of TCP/IP and the basic function of these protocols.It also gives the structure of TCP/IP and explains how transmission of data takes place in real world network.It also gives description of some of the protocols that constitute TCP/IP.The conclusion summarizes the key points of TCP/IP.
2) INTRODUCTION :- Most of us know of TCP/IP as the glue that binds the Internet. But not as many can offer a cogent description of what it is and how it works. So what is TCP/IP, really?
TCP/IP is a means for networked computers to communicate with each other. It doesn't matter whether they are part of the same network or are attached to separate networks. It doesn't matter if one computer is a Cray and the other a Macintosh. TCP/IP is a platform-independent standard that bridges the gap between dissimilar computers, operating systems, and networks. It's the protocol that drives the global Internet, and it is to the Internet that TCP/IP owes much of its popularity.
Understanding TCP/IP is largely a matter of understanding a collection of arcane protocols that TCP/IP hosts use to exchange information. Let's look at some of those protocols and see what makes TCP/IP tick
