Introduction

The Internet Protocol Suite (TCP/IP) is the fundamental language of the internet. It enables communication between devices across networks.

Key Protocols

Here are some key protocols:

• TCP: Transmission Control Protocol – Reliable data transfer, ensuring packets arrive in order.
• UDP: User Datagram Protocol – Faster, but less reliable – suitable for applications like streaming media.
• HTTP: Hypertext Transfer Protocol – Used for web browsing.
• HTTPS: Secure HTTP – Encryption for secure communication.
• DNS: Domain Name System – Translates domain names into IP addresses.
• SMTP: Simple Mail Transfer Protocol - Sends email.
• POP3: Post Office Protocol version 3 - Receives email.
• IMAP: Internet Message Access Protocol - A protocol for retrieving email.

TCP/IP Explained

TCP/IP works by breaking down data into packets, addressing them, and transmitting them across the network. Error checking and retransmissions ensure data integrity.

Why is it Important?

The Internet relies on TCP/IP for data exchange, connecting billions of devices worldwide.
