TCP/IP refers to a family of standards for connecting computers together to form networks. The original ARPA network design team saw the difficulty in implementing reliable communications between computers that used different hardware and software. Because of differences in vendor designs, a common set of openly published standards was seen as the best solution to resolving this problem. All vendors could then have access to the standard specifications and new products could be designed to operate for networked use in predictable ways. These standards have come to be known collectively as TCP/IP. TCP/IP refers to all of the established protocols approved and published by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) that support two basic protocols: Transmission Control Protocol (TCP). This is the main protocol that is used to handle connection-based service between networked computers. It specifies methods for reliable delivery of data between networked computers. Internet Protocol (IP). This is the protocol that is used to move data through the network. It uses a standard addressing scheme of unique addresses to determine how data is routed through the network. In order to see how TCP/IP works, it is useful to look at an example, such as how TCP/IP supports e-mail service. For example, if some information (such as an e-mail message) is composed and sent to your computer as text-based data, this data is sent in chunks called packets, which are fixed-length parcels of the data contained within the message. These packets are then forwarded to your computer by using its Internet Protocol (IP) address. An IP address consists of four numbers between 0 and 255, separated by periods. The use of TCP and IP in this way, combined with other TCP/IP member protocol sets, allows your computer to communicate with other computers on the Internet. In the preceding example, the other member protocols might include either the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP) or the Post Office Protocol (POP), which are specific standards within TCP/IP for e-mail messaging services. Another method of TCP/IP addressing beyond IP addressing is the Domain Name System (DNS), which uses conventional names to identify computers and services available on the network. Domain names, which are easier to remember than IP addresses, are mapped to IP addresses. Domain names consist of the following elements, separated by periods: A host name. The host name often indicates the protocol used by the Internet site, such as File Transfer Protocol (FTP). A subdomain name. The subdomain name is usually the name of the private organization that manages the site. These domain names are registered and administered through the Internet Network Information Center (InterNIC). A top-level domain name. The top-level domain, which indicates the type of organization that hosts the Web site, is assigned by InterNIC. For example, www.microsoft.com is the domain name for the Microsoft World Wide Web site. The host name, www, indicates that it is a World Wide Web site. The subdomain, .microsoft, is the name registered with InterNIC by the owner of the site. In this case, the owner is the Microsoft Corporation. The top-level domain, .com, indicates that the Web site is operated by a commercial organization. Some common Internet host names are: www World Wide Web. A browser can download multimedia and HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) scripted pages from this site. ftp File Transfer Protocol. This protocol indicates that an FTP application can download files from this site. gopher Gopher. This protocol permits a browser to be used to view text documents and directory listings from this type of site. irc Internet Relay Chat. This protocol supports interactive text chat between two or more users who are connected to the IRC site, sometimes called a "chat room."
