Packet Switching |
Messages are broken down into small bundles called packets |
|
Packets Include |
message, origination, destination, errors checking, priority, type of service |
|
TCP |
Transmission Control Protocol handles the movement of data between computers, establishes connection between computers, sequences the transfer of packets and acknowledges the packet sent. |
|
IP |
Internet Protocol Responsible for delivery of packets includes the disassembly and reassembly of packets during transmission |
|
TCP/IP |
is the communications protocol used by the internet and all internet devices |
|
TCP/IP |
provides for breaking up digital messages into packets, routing them to the proper addresses, then reassembling them into coherent messages |
|
