Transmission Control Protocol

Remote login is the ability of a computer user in one location to establish an on-line connection with another computer elsewhere. Once the connection is established, the remote computer is used as if it were a hard-wired terminal of that system. Within the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) suite, this facility is called Telnet. Using Telnet, an Internet user can establish connections with a multitude of library catalogues, other bibliographic databases, university information systems, full text databases, data files (eg, statistics, oceanographic data, meteorological data, and geographic data), and other on-line services. Many of these connections are available to any Internet user and can be accessed without an account. [Pg.112]

TCP/IP Acronym for Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol. A set of computer-to-computer communications protocols that encompass media access, packet transport, session communications, file transfer, e-mail, and terminal emulation. TCP/IP is supported by a very large number of hardware and software vendors and is available on many different computers from PCs to mainframes. [Pg.864]

Network protocols are standards that define how computers communicate. A typical protocol defines how computers should identify one another on a network, the form that the data should take in transit and how this information should be processed once it reaches its final destination. Protocols also define procedures for handling lost or damaged transmissions. Transmissions are sometimes described as "packets" of information. The most common network protocols include TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol), IPX (Internet Packet Exchange), AppleTalk, and DECnet (Digital Equipment Corporation network).

All communication relies on the existence of sets of rules or protocols that govern what form the communication may take and how it will be understood. Computer communication generally requires a very tightly defined rule set. The transmission control protocol (TCP), which is universal across the Internet, defines how data is reliably transmitted and received by Internet hosts. It does not define how those hosts manipulate the data they send or receive. The Web requires a mechanism whereby a browser can request a document and a server can deliver it. This type of interchange will also require a server to reply that a document (for a variety of reasons) is unavailable. The protocol that enables such interchanges is HTTP. This was built on top of the Internet s TCP protocol (it was, however, designed to be compatible with other similar protocols). [Pg.342]

TCP/IP Trademark. Transmission Control Protocol/Intemet Protocol the obligatory standard to be used by any system connecting to the Internet. The two protocols were orijpnally developed on the DARPA net. They were devised to optimize the performance of networks that are based on unreliable data-transmlsslon systems operating at relatively low data rates. [Pg.807]
