    Intranet Extranet: Layer Packet Internet Protocol Address

    Uploaded by

    sindhuponnusamy
    TCP/IP is a two-layer communication protocol that manages the transmission of data packets over the internet and private networks. The lower Internet Protocol layer handles packet addressing and routing while the higher Transmission Control Protocol layer reassembles packets into the original message. TCP/IP uses a client/server model where clients make requests that are fulfilled by servers, and communication is point-to-point between hosts. Common applications that use TCP/IP include the World Wide Web, email, file transfer, and remote access.

    TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) is the basic communication

    language or protocol of the Internet. It can also be used as a communications protocol


    in a private network (either an intranet or an extranet). When you are set up with
    direct access to the Internet, your computer is provided with a copy of the TCP/IP
    program just as every other computer that you may send messages to or get
    information from also has a copy of TCP/IP.
    TCP/IP is a two-layer program. The higher layer, Transmission Control Protocol,
    manages the assembling of a message or file into smaller packets that are transmitted
    over the Internet and received by a TCP layer that reassembles the packets into the
    original message. The lower layer, Internet Protocol, handles the address part of each
    packet so that it gets to the right destination. Each gateway computer on the network
    checks this address to see where to forward the message. Even though some packets
    from the same message are routed differently than others, they'll be reassembled at the
    destination.
    TCP/IP uses the client/server model of communication in which a computer user (a
    client) requests and is provided a service (such as sending a Web page) by another
    computer (a server) in the network. TCP/IP communication is primarily point-to-
    point, meaning each communication is from one point (or host computer) in the
    network to another point or host computer. TCP/IP and the higher-level applications
    that use it are collectively said to be "stateless" because each client request is
    considered a new request unrelated to any previous one (unlike ordinary phone
    conversations that require a dedicated connection for the call duration). Being
    stateless frees network paths so that everyone can use them continuously. (Note that
    the TCP layer itself is not stateless as far as any one message is concerned. Its
    connection remains in place until all packets in a message have been received.)
    Many Internet users are familiar with the even higher layer application protocols that
    use TCP/IP to get to the Internet. These include the World Wide Web's Hypertext
    Transfer Protocol (HTTP), the File Transfer Protocol (FTP), Telnet (Telnet) which
    lets you logon to remote computers, and the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP).
    These and other protocols are often packaged together with TCP/IP as a "suite."
    Personal computer users with an analog phone modem connection to the Internet
    usually get to the Internet through the Serial Line Internet Protocol (SLIP) or the
    Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP). These protocols encapsulate the IP packets so that they
    can be sent over the dial-up phone connection to an access provider's modem. 
    Protocols related to TCP/IP include the User Datagram Protocol (UDP), which is used
    instead of TCP for special purposes. Other protocols are used by network host
    computers for exchanging router information. These include the Internet Control
    Message Protocol (ICMP), the Interior Gateway Protocol (IGP), the Exterior Gateway
    Protocol (EGP), and the Border Gateway Protocol (BGP).
