There are approximately 4.3 billion different
addresses in the IP Address range of
000.000.000.000 to 255.255.255.255. These
addresses can be divided into smaller, and much
more manageable, subnetworks, or subnets. The
Subnet Mask identifies which part of the IP
Address contains the Subnet Address and which
part contains the host (or device) address.
An acronym for Transmission Control Protocol.
TCP/IP protocol governing sequenced data.
An acronym for Transmission Control Protocol/
Internet Protocol. A protocol suite developed by
ARPA (Advanced Research Projects Agency).
TCP/IP is a set of communications protocols that is
supported by a variety of computer platforms. TCP
controls the data transfer and IP controls the routing
of the data. The IP Address is a unique address that
identifies a device in a network. The IP Address
consists of four bytes of information and is
expressed as decimal numbers with the bytes
separated by periods.
