The TCP/IP system’s purpose is based on how networks operate. IP stands for Internet Protocol. TCP stands for Transmission Control Protocol. The IP is where each website gets a specific address. The address given to a website is a specific set of numbers which the system uses to be able to find that particular website. When the addresses are entered into the system, the system processes the number as a binary number which is a set of numbers which is based on the 32 bit numbers system. This system uses the IP addresses to easily access websites in the system. The IP system can be used with either the IPv4 system which is version 4, the original system or there is a newer version which is IPv6 or version 6. The TCP side of the TCP/IP system looks at the process of getting to the system, or the transportation. (Mile 2).
