TCP/IP
TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) is the foundational communication protocol suite that powers the internet and most computer networks. It provides reliable, ordered delivery of data between applications across diverse network hardware through a layered architecture of protocols. The suite encompasses protocols at multiple layers including TCP, IP, UDP, HTTP, and many others, defined through IETF RFCs maintained at the RFC Editor.
