Jction to â¢k P r o g r a m m i n g -by Dr. Andrei Kondrashev Chicago, Illinois T CP/IP (which stands for Transmission Control Protocol// Internet Protocol) is a network communication standard part of the communication process at all, because this feature is given to us a priori by an operating system. . The network layer handles the movement of packets (Internet datagrams) around the network. Address resolution, for example, takes place at this level. We are going to deal only with the Internet protocol in this article. . The transport layer provides a flow of data between two computers (hosts). A typical TCP/IP implementation supports at least two transport protocols: T C P and UDP. T C P (Transmission Control Protocol) provides reliable data connections between two hosts. This protocol handles such tasks as dividing the data into appropriately-sized chunks for the network layer below, acknowledging received packets, setting time-outs, and so on. This is why the application layer located on the next level can ignore all these details, when T C P is used. UDP (User Datagram Protocol) is a connectionless communication protocol that only provides the movement of data packets (datagrams) between
