What will be an ideal response?


The various telecommunications networks that are linked to form the Internet work much the same way-they pass data around in chunks called packets, each of which carries the address of its sender and its receiver along with other technical information. The set of conventionsĀ used to pass packets from one host to another is the InternetĀ Protocol (IP). Many other protocols are used in connection with IP. The best known is the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP). After a network following these standards links to the Internet's backbone, it becomes part of the worldwide Internet community.
