The services are able to share the same data cable - because each separate signal is sent in 'packets' of data - each with its own security tag - to stop cross-over from one to the other.
What do the letters tcpip stand for?
TCP/IP is a very common type of network protocol.TCP stands for Transmission Control Protocol and is used to create data connections between computers. Primarily, it is a "connection oriented protocol" in a sense that every connection goes through a three-way-handshake (SYN, ACK/SYN, ACK) to establish a connection before data is transmitted. Once the connection is established, each data packet that is received by the destination computer triggers an ACK packet (short for Acknowledge) to say that the data was received without error. That ACK packet will not be sent if the data packet is not received or if the data packet does not match the CRC (Cycle Redundancy Check). If the computer that sent the data packet does not hear that ACK packet, it sends the data packet again. The majority of traffic on the internet is TCP.TCP can be easily compared to UDP (User Datagram Protocol) which does not create a "connection" or ask for a acknowledgment packet and therefor typically has less overhead and latency. With UDP, data is sent to an address without worry for whether or not it reached its destination successfully. It is often used for streams such as internet radio/audio or video.IP stands for Internet Protocol. IP is the framework that lets computers address and communicate with each other. Most commonly known is an IP Address. An IP Address is a set of numbers given to a computer so that it may communicate with other computers with IP addresses. A common analogy is the phone system. To talk to someone, you simply dial their number.For example, to submit this answer, my computer made a TCP connection to wiki.answers.com's IP address and sent a data stream containing my writings. After each packet my computer sent, wiki.answers.com sent an acknowledge packet back.
