IP: Internet Protocol
From Network Dictionary Wiki
(Redirected from IP)
The Internet Protocol (IP) is a network layer (Layer 3 in the OSI model) protocol that contains addressing information and some control information to enable packets to be routed in a network. IP is the primary network layer protocol in the TCP/IP protocol suite. Along with the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP), IP represents the heart of the Internet protocols. IP is equally well suited for both LAN and WAN communications.
