heTransmissionControlProtocol/InternetProtocol(TCP/IP)isastandardthatincludesmanyprotocols.Itdefineshowmachinesonaninternetworkcancommunicate with each other. It was initially funded by and developed for DARPA(Defense Advanced Research Protects Agency), which is a conglomeration of U.S. military andgovernment organizations. Developed initially for the government, it was later made availabletothepublic,mainlyseenonUnixsystems.FirstspecifiedinRFC791,ithasbecomethedefacto standard for networking protocols. The Internet uses TCP/IP to carry data betweennetworks,andmostcorporationstodayuseTCP/IPfortheirnetworks.Thischapterwillprovide an overview of TCP/IP, including some of its more important protocols, as well asIP addressing.

Chapter3:IP Addressing
It is VERY importantthat you understand ALL aspects of IP addressing. Therefore, spend a lot of timeon this chapter. If you don’t understand IP addressing when taking the exam, youwill have a difficult time in passing it.This Exam Watch goes for all threeexams: INTRO, ICND, and CCNA.
 
Transport Layer

to send to a destinationdevice. The remote destination is responsiblefortakingthedatafromthesesegmentsandforwarding it to the correct application. TCP/IPhas two transport layer protocols: TransmissionControl Protocol (TCP) and User Datagram Protocol (UDP). These protocols arediscussed in the following sections.

Comparisonof the OSIReference Modeland the TCP/IPProtocol Stack 
TCP/IP’s transport layer can provide for flow control and reliableconnections.Here are some examplesof applications (and their ports) that useTCP: HTTP (80), FTP (21), SMTP (25),and telnet (23).
