Detailed explanation-1: -Because TCP/IP was constructed to use packets, it is considered a packet-switching technology, the primary benefit of which is that data can be routed to a destination through any number of transmission points, making the network decentralized and less vulnerable to equipment failure.
Detailed explanation-2: -TCP/IP concepts. Conceptually, the TCP/IP protocol stack consists of four layers, each layer consisting of one or more protocols. A protocol is a set of rules or standards that two entities must follow so as to allow each other to receive and interpret messages sent to them.
