Transmission Control Protocol / Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) Suite

The Defense Advance Research Projects Agency (DARPA) originally developed Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) to interconnect various defense department computer networks.
The Internet, an international Wide Area Network, uses TCP/IP to connect government and educational institutions across the world.

TCP/IP is also in widespread use on commercial and private networks.
The TCP/IP suite includes the following protocols:

• IP v4 - Internet Protocol version 4.
  
• IP v6 - Internet Protocol version 6.
  
• TCP - Transmission Control Protocol.
  
• UDP - User Datagram Protocol.
