| TCP/IP stands for Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol.
These technical standards, also known as protocols, enable communication
between different kinds of computers.
TCP/IP protocols allow information to be served in many ways.
-
Examples of TCP/IP protocols:
-
World Wide Web information (HTTP)
-
Gopher menu information (GOPHER)
-
Transfer files across the net (FTP)
-
Read and Post to network newsgroups (NNTP)
-
Logon to remote computers (TELNET)
-
Send and Receive Electronic Mail (SMTP)
Netscape or Internet Explorer can handle many of these protocols and these
Web Browsers are approaching the "universal client" concept, one client
(or software program) to do it all. |
