Why we using Tcp/IP. Why we can't use just Tcp ip? What is
the meaning of '/' symbol in between this?

Answer Posted / pankaj lohar

TCP/IP is not a reference model. Remember OSI is a
reference model.OSI is used as a guideline for making
intervendor compatible devices and interoperatable
softwares.
TCP/IP is a model to define how data flows over
internet.Supported by any operating system using any
protocol.I think its a basic networking model.
TCP IP indicates only two protocol Transmission control
protocol and internet protocol.
TCP/IP indicates family of protocol
(http,https,ftp,tcp,udp,ip,arp etc)
"/" represents the all protocol used in this network model.
