TCP IP

TCP IP (Transmittion Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) was developed for military use in transferring data over very long distances. The TCP oversees the verification of the packets of data being delivered and the IP part is responsible for moving data packets between the computers nodes. Since this was so successful it has now become one of the Internets foundations and is inbuilt into all of the major operating systems.
