About Internet protocols - Librarians Portal

The Internet Protocol (IP) is the principal communications protocol in the Internet protocol suite for relaying datagrams across network boundaries. Its routing function enables internetworking, and in essence establishes the Internet.

IP, as the primary protocol in the Internet layer of the Internet protocol suite, has the mission of delivering packets from the source host to the destination host solely based on the IP addresses. For this reason, IP defines datagram structures that encapsulate the data to be delivered. It also defines addressing methods that are used to label the datagram with source and destination information.

•           Bluetooth protocols - is a wireless technology standard for exchanging data over short distances

•           Fibre Channel network protocols - Communication between devices in a fibre channel network uses different elements of the Fibre Channel standards.

•           Internet Protocol Suite or TCP/IP model or TCP/IP stack  -The Internet protocol suite is the networking model and a set of communications protocols used for the Internet and similar networks. It is commonly known as TCP/IP, because its most important protocols, the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and the Internet Protocol (IP) were the first networking protocols defined in this standard. It is occasionally known as the DoD model
