TCP/IP a set of protocols in place for all communication devices. Whenever any data is sent/received they act as rules as to how the exchange is made. TCP is more strict in a sense. It runs specific checks to make sure everything is exchanged in the right order and free of errors so to speak. IP on the other hand, is less “secure” as it only ensure that the data is sent to proper place. It has no checks on the data to make sure that it is exactly as it was sent. Both of these are required for the other to function. TCP ensures the data is whole and free of error, and IP ensures that the data is sent to the proper receiving device. Because every device that connects to the internet at one point or another. Must have these to be able to transfer any data to and from.
