short for Transmission Control Protocol / Internet Protocol
TCP/IP is the "language" of the Internet. TCP/IP is used to re-

the Internet. TCP and IP are the network and transport proto-

for practically all computer systems. TCP/IP thus offers the
advantage of trouble-free communication between otherwise
incompatible networks and systems.
