How TCP/IP Links Dissimilar Machines
Find the answers to these questions in the following text.
1) What purpose does the Internet address have apart from
identifying a node?
2) What data-delivery systems are mentioned in the text?
3) What do IP modules need to know about each other to
communicate?
4) How many Internet addresses does a gateway have?
5) What does UDP software do?
6) When does the TCP part of TCP/IP come into operation?
7) What processes are performed by TCP software to provide
reliable stream service?
8) What standard protocols are mentioned which are used to deal
with the data after TCP brings it into the computer?
At the heart of the Internet Protocol (IP) portion of TCP/IP is a

concept called the Internet address. This 32-bit coding system
assigns a number to every node on the network. There are
various types of addresses designed for networks of different
sizes, but you can write every address with a series of
numbers that identify the major network and the sub-
networks to which a node is attached. Besides identifying a
node, the address provides a path that gateways can use to
route information from one machine to another.
Although data-delivery systems like Ethernet or X.25 bring

their packets to any machine electrically attached to the
cable, the IP modules must know each other's Internet
addresses if they are to communicate. A machine acting as a
gateway connecting different TCP/IP networks will have a
different Internet address on each network. Internal look-up
tables and software based on another standard - called
Resolution Protocol - are used to route the data through a
gateway between networks.
Another piece of software works with the IP-layer programs to

move information to the right application on the receiving
system. This software follows a standard called the User
Datagram Protocol (UDP). You can think of the UDP software
as creating a data address in the TCP/IP message that states
exactly what application the data block is supposed to contact
at the address the IP software has described. The UDP
software provides the final routing for the data within the
receiving system.
The Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) part of TCP/IP comes
into operation once the packet is delivered to the correct
Internet address and application port. Software packages that
follow the TCP standard run on each machine, establish a
connection to each other, and manage the communication
exchanges. A data-delivery system like Ethernet doesn't
promise to deliver a packet successfully. Neither IP nor UDP
knows anything about recovering packets that aren't
successfully delivered, but TCP structures and buffers the data
flow, looks for responses and takes action to replace missing
data blocks. This concept of data management is called
reliable stream service.
After TCP brings the data packet into a computer, other high-
level programs handle it. Some are enshrined in official US
government standards, like the File Transfer Protocol (FTP)
and the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP). If you use
these standard protocols on different kinds of computers, you
will at least have ways of easily transferring files and other
kinds of data.
Conceptually, software that supports the TCP protocol stands

alone. It can work with data received through a serial port,
over a packet- switched network, or from a network system
like Ethernet. TCP software doesn't need to use IP or UDP, it
doesn't even have to know they exist. But in practice TCP is an
integral part of the TCP/IP picture, and it is most frequently
used with those two protocols.
Activity 6: Exercise
Activity 7: Exercise
Mark the following statements as True or False:
a) Internet addresses are an integral part of the IP protocol.
b) Internet addresses can be written as a series of numbers.
c) UDP software provides the final routing for data within the receiving
system.
d) UDP recovers packets that aren't successfully delivered.
e) TCP only works with packet-switched networks.
f) TCP only works when it is combined with IP.
Homework

2) Listen to Related Videos of Unit 12
3) Review Warnings grammar work.
4) Make an introduction by using Slide about the Internet.
5) Study Unit 13 in the “Oxford English for Information Technology”
