Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol: TCP/IP is the basic communication method used over the Internet. The TCP on the side of the sending machine is responsible for breaking up a message in to smaller portions called packets. These packets are then sent to their destination and the TCP on the side of the receiving machine is responsible for reassembling the packets to form the original message. The Internet Protocol provides a means of properly addressing each packet so that it arrives at its destination. SSH and telnet, for example, are built upon TCP/IP.
Telnet is a protocol that provides an interface for communications between clients and servers.
