Canonical page: https://career.thegoodapps.co/skills/tcp-ip

TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) is the foundational suite of communication protocols that enables data transmission across the internet and most computer networks, defining how data is packetized, addressed, transmitted, and received. Network engineers and IT professionals need a solid understanding of TCP/IP to design, troubleshoot, and secure networked systems.
