TCP/IP Protocol

TCP/IP is a large collection of different communication protocols.

Protocol suite

TCP/IP is a large collection of different communication protocols based on the original TCP and IP protocols.

TCP - Transmission Control Protocol

TCP is used for data transmission control from applications to the network.

TCP is responsible for splitting data into IP packets before transmission and reassembling them when they arrive.

IP - Internet Protocol

IP is responsible for communication between computers.

IP is responsible for sending and receiving data packets on the Internet.

HTTP - Hypertext Transfer Protocol

HTTP is responsible for communication between web servers and web browsers.

HTTP is used to send requests from web clients (browsers) to web servers and return content (web pages) from web servers to web clients.

HTTPS - Secure HTTP

HTTPS is responsible for secure communication between web servers and web browsers.

As a representative application, HTTPS is used to handle credit card transactions and other sensitive data.

SSL - Secure Sockets Layer

SSL protocol is used to encrypt data for secure data transmission.

SMTP - Simple Mail Transfer Protocol

SMTP is used for the transmission of email.

MIME - Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions

The MIME protocol enables SMTP to transmit multimedia files over TCP/IP networks, including sound, video, and binary data.

IMAP - Internet Message Access Protocol

FTP - File Transfer Protocol

FTP is responsible for file transfer between computers.

NTP - Network Time Protocol

NTP is used to synchronize time (clocks) between computers.

DHCP - Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol

DHCP is used to assign dynamic IP addresses to computers in the network.

SNMP - Simple Network Management Protocol

SNMP is used for the management of computer networks.

LDAP - Lightweight Directory Access Protocol

LDAP is used to collect information about users and email addresses from the Internet.

ICMP - Internet Message Control Protocol

ICMP is responsible for error handling in the network.

ARP - Address Resolution Protocol

ARP - Used to find the hardware address of a computer network card based on IP address.

RARP - Reverse Address Resolution Protocol

RARP is used to find the IP address of a computer network card based on the hardware address through IP.

BOOTP - Boot Protocol

BOOTP is used to boot computers from the network.

PPTP - Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol

PPTP is used for connections (tunnels) between private networks.
