Did you know? TCP/IP is the language of the Internet, and it was adopted by ARPANET on January 1 (if you don’t know, ARPANET was the major foundation to the Internet, which is a collection of networks).
Since the Internet is just a series of smaller networks, which are just series of computers, all the computers need to speak the same language. This is where IP comes to mention:
IP
IP’s job is to make sure packets get routed to the right place. When you type in “http://www.facebook.com” you ask facebook’s computers to show you the login page to that website. However, your request must travel through typically 10 network nodes or more before finally reaching the facebook website.
TCP
is a “protocol” built ontop of IP. It’s entire job is ensuring that IP information transfers (or “packets”) actually got to where they were going.
