Protocol is the set of rules for communication in a network. TCP/IP is the communication protocol for the Internet. In TCP/IP data is transmitted in the form of packets. A packet is a fixed length of block of data for transmission. It contains both the data and the address of the recepient computer.
TCP/IP first establishes a connection between the sender and the receiver computers. After establishing a connection, TCP breaks the digital data into packets of small size and assigns sequence numbers and destination address on each packet. Hence this protocol is also known as connection oriented protocol.
IP then routes these data packets to the destination computer in the shortest path. When the packets reaches the destination, the receiving computer reassembles the data using the sequence numbers in the packet. An acknowledgement is sent to the sending computer once the receiving computer receives the data intact. An error message is sent if there is any error in receiving the packets. Hence this protocol is known as reliable protocol.
This protocol is used in transmission of important data.

"Transmission control protocol/Internet protocol." TCP/IP is a combined set of protocols that perform the transfers of data between two computers. The Internet Protocol is a connectionless protocol which provides packet routing. TCP is connection-oriented and provides reliable communication and multiplexing and enables two hosts to establish a connection and exchange streams of data. TCP guarantees delivery of data and also guarantees that packets will be delivered in the same order in which they were sent.

tcp / ip stands for transmission control protocol and internet protocol. all it is is a definition of how information is going to be passed from one computer to another. the same way there is a protocol when you order your lunch, we need a way to manage how information passes over the internet. how fast can we speak? how much can we say before giving the other person a chance to react? how does the other person know you are speaking to them? these are the questions that tcp/ip answers which allows us to then send our information over the internet.

a format for an address, like a telephone number, or a mailing address... it's just one for the 'puter.
