This paper is about a computer pioneer before the 1990s. A computer pioneer is someone who has had an impact in the development or improvement of the computer. The paper will discuss the computer pioneer’s legacy and how it has affected the change of computers. The topic of this paper is TCP/IP and their designers, Vinton Cerf and Robert Kahn.
TCP/IP stands for Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol, which is the protocol of the Internet. In a private network, TCP/IP can be used as a communications protocol; the TCP/IP can either be an intranet or extranet. A computer is provided with a copy of the TCP/IP program when it is set up with direct access to the Internet. (“What Is TCP/IP”)
TCP/IP is a two-layer program. The higher layer is Transmission Control Protocol. TCP manages the assembling of a message or file into smaller packets. The smaller packers are transmitted over the Internet. Then, the packers are received by a TCP layer that reassembles the packets into the original message. Internet Protocol is the lower layer. IP handles the packet’s address. IP makes sure that the packet gets to the right destination. Each gateway computer on the network checks the address to see where it should forward the message. A message has packets that are routed differently than other packets in the message; however, they will be reassembled at the destination. (“What Is TCP/IP”)
TCP/IP is a client/server model. The communication of TCP/IP is point-to-point; each communication is from point in the network to another point. TCP/IP and other applications that use TCP/IP are considered “stateless”. It is “stateless” because each request by the client is unrelated to any previous requests. The network path is freed up because of t...

A state variable known as congestion window is implemented by the TCP protocol which stops the clogging of the network by regulating and putting a limit on the data that is sent on the network in turn reducing congestion, timeouts and lost packets.
What does TCP mean? TCP is a set of rules that governs the delivery of data over the internet or other network that uses the Internet Protocol, and sets up a connection between the sending and receiving computers.
IP – The Internet Protocol (IP) - is the method or protocol by which data is sent from one computer to another on the Internet. Each computer (known as a host) on the Internet has at least one IP address that uniquely identifies it from all other computers on the Internet.

This memorandum will attempt to explain the Open Systems Interconnection Model, known more simply as the OSI Model. The OSI Model has seven levels, and these levels will be discussed in detail. Particular mention will be made to which level TCP/IP functions with the OSI Model.
TCP/IP is the protocol which is widely used for communication on the internet. IP addresses are used for identifying devices in a TCP/IP environment. IP addresses are segregated as classes out of which Class A, Class B, class C are used for the hosts. Class D is used for multicast and Class E is reserved. Every class has a defined set for the number of IP addresses.
Next, the writer goes over the second type of network architecture - the TCP/IP reference model, the granddaddy of the wide area computer network. This architecture allows the connection of multiple networks seamlessly. The architecture is flexible and capable of running even if some of the subnet hardware is destroyed or non-functional as long as the source and destination machines are functioning. In a similar fashion to the OSI model, the TCP/IP model has layers as well. In this case, we have four layers: the link
TCP/IP is a network model which enables the communication across the Internet. The most fundamental protocol on which the Internet is built. This is made up of the 2 common networking protocols, TCP, for Transmission Control Protocol, and IP, for Internet Protocol. TCP maintains and handles packet flow linking the systems and IP protocol has the ability to handle the routing of packets. However The TCP/IP stack consists of 5 layers first being application layer, the transport layer, then the network layer, the link layer and finally the physical layer. The assignment focuses on the three middle layers and is divided into five parts. Firstly explaining how the TCP and UDP the most vital protocols needed to deliver and communicate.
Congestion Control Transfer Protocol (CCTP) is an advanced, stable message-determined transport layer protocol. CCTP lies in between the Network layer and Application layer and serves as the agent between network operation and application programs. Figure below shows the IP suite associated with the relationship of CCTP protocol with others. This protocol blends the prominent characteristics of TCP, UDP and SCTP.
TCP/IP operates at both levels 3 and 4 of the OSI model. The TCP portion of TCP/IP operates at level 3 (Network) as its primary function is to control the flow of data. IP operates at level 4 (Transport) of the OSI model. IP is the protocol responsible for the actual transmission of packet across the network.

Moreover, internet itself is made up of millions of small sub-networks. Each sub-network may use different protocol for data transfer and communication within the network.
