Technical Terms - Internet (A-Z) - TCP/IP

What does TCP/IP stand for?

• Total Control Protocol over Internet Protocol

• Transmission Control Protocol on Internet Protocol

• Transmission Control Protocol over Internet Protocol

• Transfer Control Protocol under Internet Protocol

Which layer of the TCP/IP suite handles the actual transmission of digital data between devices through network cables and wireless radio?

• Link Layer

• Internet Layer

• Transport Layer

• Application Layer

What is the function of the Transport Layer in the TCP/IP suite?

• Handles communications between two hosts connected over the Internet layer

• Sends data over the Transport layer to a specified port on the other host

• Represents the physical network that connects computers and routers

• Handles the routing of data between networks

Which protocol is used by the Transport Layer to break the data into small pieces, add headers to direct the data across the Internet, and reassemble the data on the destination computer?

• HTTP

• UDP

• SMTP

• TCP
