- At the sender, data is broken into packets and sent to the nearest node (router)
At each router, it sends the packet to another router that is closer to the final destination
-At the receiver, packets are reassembled to get the original data
Basic task of IP – moving packets as quickly as possible from one router to another Yet, it doesn’t check whether packets are delivered successfully, thus need TCP
-TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) – disassemble/reassemble packets, error checking, ACK packets
-We need some sort of address in order to identify different nodes, as if every house has a mailing address in order to receive mail from others
-The one used by Internet Protocol is called IP address
Every host on the Internet has a unique IP address, made up of four numbers.
for example; 192.56.215.131
