TCP/IP ( Computers, Network ) - Dictionare

NetWare TCP/IP

• A collection of NetWare Loadable Modules (NLMs) that implement the TCP/IP protocol suite in order to provide routing services for stations using the TCP/IP format.

TCP/IP

• Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol. Common name for the suite of protocols developed by the U.S. DoD in the 1970s to support the construction of worldwide internetworks. TCP and IP are the two best-known protocols in the suite. See also IP and TCAP.

TCP/IP (Transmission Control

• Protocol/Internet Protocol) Suite TCP/IP is a suite of several networking protocols developed for use on the Internet. The suite has proven very popular, and it is also used for most UNIX implementations as well as other platforms. The only real competition for the TCP/IP suite is provided by protocols that have been or are being developed for the emerging OSI Reference Model. The main protocols in the suite include the following: n SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer Protocol) provides a simple electronic-mail (e-mail) service. SMTP uses the TCP protocol to send and receive messages. n FTP (File Transfer Protocol) enables users to transfer files from one machine to another. FTP also uses the services of the TCP protocol at the transport layer to move the files. n Telnet provides terminal-emulation capabilities and allows users to log in to a remote network from their computers. n SNMP (Simple Network Management Protocol) is used to control networkmanagement services and to transfer management-related data. n TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) provides connection- and streamoriented, transport-layer services. TCP uses the IP to deliver its packets. n UDP (User Datagram Protocol) provides connectionless transportlayer service. UDP also uses the IP to deliver its packets. n IP (Internet Protocol) provides routing and connectionless delivery services at the network layer. The IP uses packet switching and makes a best effort to deliver its packets.
