Transmission Control Protocol / Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)

TCP/IP stands for Transmission Control Protocol / Internet Protocol and summarizes a number of network protocols. The entire Internet uses the TCP/IP protocol. Data packets of different sizes are sent via the TCP/IP protocol in the LAN and in the WAN. Since the TPC/IP protocol is not dependent on any specific hardware or software, the protocol can be used on all operating systems. TCP/IP can be found in the so-called OSI layer model in layers 3 and 4. These layers are responsible for switching and transporting data.
