Description
The protocol which takes data from a users
application program and passes it to the IP
for transfer across the internet. The reverse
operation is performed at the destination
computer, i.e. the TCP reassembles the data
(from individual packets) and forwards them
to the users application program. The close
relation with the IP means that the terms are
usually used in combination, i.e. TCP/IP.

Plenary What is meant by bandwidth and transmission rate? The transmission rate is a measure of
the number of pieces of information that have been transferred during a specific time period, usually also
measured in bits per second.
A high bandwidth means more information can be carried in a given time, so a higher transmission rate
is achieved. Insufficient bandwidth can result in websites and servers appearing to run very slowly.
