TCP/IP Protocols

TCP/IP is a large collection of different communication protocols.


A Family of Protocols

TCP/IP is a large collection of different communication protocols based upon the two original protocols TCP and IP.


TCP - Transmission Control Protocol

TCP is used for transmission of data from an application to the network.

TCP is responsible for breaking data down into IP packets before they are sent, and for assembling the packets when they arrive.


IP - Internet Protocol

IP takes care of the communication with other computers.

IP is responsible for the sending and receiving data packets over the Internet.


HTTP - Hyper Text Transfer Protocol

HTTP takes care of the communication between a web server and a web browser.

HTTP is used for sending requests from a web client (a browser) to a web server, returning web content (web pages) from the server back to the client.


HTTPS - Secure HTTP

HTTPS takes care of secure communication between a web server and a web browser.

HTTPS typically handles credit card transactions and other sensitive data.


SSL - Secure Sockets Layer

The SSL protocol is used for encryption of data for secure data transmission.


SMTP - Simple Mail Transfer Protocol

MIME - Multi-purpose Internet Mail Extensions

The MIME protocol lets SMTP transmit multimedia files including voice, audio, and binary data across TCP/IP networks.


IMAP - Internet Message Access Protocol

POP - Post Office Protocol

FTP - File Transfer Protocol

NTP - Network Time Protocol

NTP is used to synchronize the time (the clock) between computers.


DHCP - Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol

DHCP is used for allocation of dynamic IP addresses to computers in a network.


SNMP - Simple Network Management Protocol

SNMP is used for administration of computer networks.


LDAP - Lightweight Directory Access Protocol

LDAP is used for collecting information about users and e-mail addresses from the internet.


ICMP - Internet Control Message Protocol

ICMP takes care of error-handling in the network.


ARP - Address Resolution Protocol

ARP is used by IP to find the hardware address of a computer network card based on the IP address.


RARP - Reverse Address Resolution Protocol

RARP is used by IP to find the IP address based on the hardware address of a computer network card.

  8. I don't know if it's just me or if perhaps everyone else encountering issues with your
    website. It appears as though some of the
    text in your posts are running off the screen. Can someone else please provide feedback and
    let me know if this is happening to them as well? This might be a issue with
    my internet browser because I've had this happen before.
    Thanks
