1.1 IP Overview

Internet Protocol (IP), the foundation of the IP protocol suite, is a packet-based protocol used for the
exchange of data over computer networks. IP is a network layer that contains addressing and control
information to allow routing of data packets. IP handles addressing, fragmentation, reassembly, and
protocol de-multiplexing.
Supermicro switches support both TCP and UDP at the transport layer for maximum flexibility in
services.
Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) is a connection-oriented protocol built upon the IP layer.

TCP specifies the format of data and acknowledgments used in the transfer of data and also the
