Answer Posted / hailu d

TCP and IP are two of the most important communication
protocol in the suit called Internet protocol suit.
TCP and IP are software components part of operating
system’s kernel.
It is responsible:
• A connection oriented protocol which is responsible
establishing a connection before applications which use TCP
starts exchange data
• Disassemble the actual data (pay load) in to packet
of fixed size bytes from the source computer or node.
• Assemble received packets back to the actual data
(its original form).
• Sending /receiving packets In order (FIFO),no
missing packet and no duplicate packets If packet is
missed TCP is responsible to resend
• If packet is missed ,TCP is responsible to resend
(Data can be lost in intermediate network )
• If packet is duplicated, TCP is responsible to
truncate
• Handle error.
In brief, TCP is a connection oriented (setting up and
maintaining reliable connection) protocol responsible for
correct delivery of data .

IP is responsible for moving (routing) packet of data from
node to node using four byte destination address.
