Essay / Research Paper Abstract
A 12-page essay that presents a general overview of Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol, the protocol suite that revolutionized computer networking and made high volume traffic between different operating platforms a possibility and a reality. Included is a brief history of the birth of the Internet and the conditions and events that led to the development of the standardized TCP/IP protocol set. Also included is an in-depth discussion of the various tasks performed both at the TCP layer and at the IP layer. Bibliography lists 14 sources. LCTCP-IP.doc

familiar with this foreign language and careful not to insult the intelligence of said reader by defining such common terms. But there is hope for the technically challenged who
strive to understand the complex language of the computer world. As in any language, comprehension of computer terminology involves the simple process of breaking down the individual components to
see how and where they fit into the whole structure. In the case of computer language, which is commonly communicated in shortened, abbreviated terms, the breaking down process involves
not paring each word to its root, but instead stretching each root abbreviation to its full word extension. Thus TCP/IP becomes Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol. Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol
has been defined as "the basic communication language or protocol of the Internet" (Stevens http://whatis.com/tcpip.htm). TCP/IP is the means by which one computer systems transports data remotely to another
computer system, the backbone behind electronic mail and file transfer. In short, Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol is the heart and soul of the Internet.
The word protocol is derived from protocollon, a Greek word that was used to refer to a single paper included with a manuscript that served to describe its
content. This term has been adopted by the world of telecommunications to denote a standard set of rules to be used and observed in communications (Protocol http://whatis.com/protocol.htm). A
set of protocols is recognized and observed each time a common telephone is used to place or receive a call. A language protocol is unconsciously observed and put into
