TCP-IP Protocol is a combination of the TCP and IP. The meaning of TCP is Transmission Control Protocol and the meaning of IP is Internet Protocol. This protocol is a package communication system for communicate the devices which are in the same network from the internet. The first model of the TCP has been enhanced by American Defence Ministry for defence research projects. That Project has been integrated with ARPANET at first but it has 4 version until today. At the first versions (NCP and RFC 675), TCP was doing the tasks of IP. The fourth version is RFC 793 still used version since 1981.
TCP transmits the datas with packages without loss. It is sending with packages because when the system transmits a data without splitting it to the packages and if the data could not be send or become confused, the whole datas should have sended again. Therefore TCP-IP splits datas to the packages and those packages become together and turns to the datas in the receiver.
TCP and IP are different communication protocols. IP is using for directing the packages and be sure of they had sended right address, certainly. Besides it is not necessary of what do you send or the content of it in IP protocol. TCP inspects the receiver accepted the data or not. TCP is responsible for transmit the datas, IP is responsible for the address of receiver.
