TCP/IP creates a connection between sender and receiver using port numbers--the port number identifies a particular application for a particular device; FTP: port 20 SMTP: Port 25 or HTTP: Port 80 TCP/IP is responsible for providing end-to-end, error-free network connections by transferring (routing) data packets from node to node within the network and making sure that the datagram arrives at its destination exactly as it left the source. It also determine (TTL) if the datagram is too fragmented and have been hopping around the network for too long and should not be allowed to survive.
