| Internet Protocol 101 - IP Networking Fundamentals: Lesson 7 - TCP/IP and Related Protocols | |
| | TCP/IP and Related Protocols | Vocabulary | Additional Reading | |
 | from Bradley Mitchell, your Editor and Guide Many network technologies are built to use IP as a lower-level supporting technology. TCP/IP is the perhaps the best well-known of these, but UDP, FTP, HTTP, and many other network protocols also have Internet Protocol as their foundation. Understanding how these protocols fit together is essential. |
| TCP/IP and Related Protocols | |
| What is TCP/IP? | |
| TCP is technically a separate protocol from IP, but the two are used together almost universally, so TCP is more generally known as TCP/IP. TCP is the most common higher-level protocol used in conjunction with IP. | |
| Introduction to UDP | |
| UDP is the main alternative to TCP/IP. UDP is a simpler network protocol than TCP with its own pros and cons. UDP is only sometimes called "UDP/IP." | |
| FTP | |
| FTP is a very popular client/server system that is built using TCP/IP. FTP is also the name of the network protocol that FTP clients and servers use to communicate with each other. | |
