ip - internet protocol.
The Internet uses many layered protocols. The two protocols used the most are tcp/ip (tcp protocol on top of ip) and udp/ip (udp protocol on top of ip). Web Browsers use tcp/ip. Email uses tcp/ip. Many web applications and games use udp/ip for broadcasting video, audio, and for multiplayer games.
ip runs within/on yet many other base protocols. The most common protocol inside homes and business is ethernet. tcp/ip can run on ethernet and many other base protocols.
Analogy: Think of shipping and boxes as protocols and packets. You might ship something in a box to Another Country. The address system on the box could be part of the ip protocol. Your box goes in a UPS truck (a bigger box - think ethernet packet holding your ip packet) with other boxes then goes to a distribution center (a router), then maybe into a container and on a ship (a different box - say FIOS fiber protocols). So tcp within ip within ethernet is like ups package within container on a container ship.
In networks the containers can but don't always get bigger as you get onto the backbone - they tend instead to get faster. An ethernet packet might contain 2 different ip packets each which might have 2 tcp packets. More often it is a 1 to 1 relationship.

Is computer networking still in an infancy?
Not at all. The concept of computer networking has been around since the concept of electronic computers.The most common networking used today is TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internetworking Protocol), and was developed by Bell Labs in about 1968.
What does the abbreviation ARP stand for?
ARP is not an abbreviation, but rather an acronym. It stands for several different things but the most common is Address Resolution Protocol which is used in computer networking.
What is most popular networking architecture protocol used today?
Ethernet
What is a commonly used network protocol that can be used to connect many different kinds of computers or devices a star?
The most commonly used network protocol is Internet Protocol (IP), this is the protocol used within the Internet, this protocol is a derivative of TCP/IP Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol. This is used in 99% of common corporate networks, the TCP components deals with efficiencies of network transmission. TCP/IP or IP overlays the common Ethernet networking topology.
Which networking topology was use for networking?
There are a couple but the most common is the star
The predominate protocol used in modern LANs is?
TCP/IP is the most common LAN protocol.
What does the acronym RIP represent in the context of computer network?
The most common usage is for "Routing Information Protocol" Another usage is for "Raster Image Processor" - which you might encounter when dealing with computer graphics.
What Internet protocol do you use the most when browsing websites?
Common Internet Protocol for browsing is TCP/IP.
The ping utility is the most common use of which protocol?
ICMP
Can you install networking hardware for a computer running window?
most of the time you get istructions with hardwares
What is the most common method for illustrating the operations of a networking stack?
The OSI Model
