The Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) is one of the core protocols of the internet Protocol Suite. TCP is so central that the entire suite is often referred to as "TCP/IP". Whereas IP handles lower-level transmissions from computer to computer as a message makes its way across the Internet, TCP operates at a higher level, concerned only with the two end systems, for example a Web browser and a Web server. In particular, TCP provides reliable, ordered delivery of a stream of bytes from one program on one computer to another program on another computer. Besides the Web, other common applications of TCP include e-mail and file transfer. Among its management tasks, TCP controls message size, the rate at which messages are exchanged, and network traffic congestion.
== == The meaning of internet is a vast number of networks connected in to a world via tcp/ip INTERconnected NETworks
TCP and IP are examples of protocols - a common set of agreed upon rules for communications between networks and devices.
TCP/IP is the protocol used to communicate on most networks.
a tcp header contains the information of the source and destination networks and well as what port to access with out it the packet would not know where to go

No - FTP is a subprotocol in TCP/IP. TCP/IP is a set of standards for describing addressing, transport, and delivery/routing of information across networks. FTP is a protocol that allows a file to be transferred from one system to another, using TCP/IP.

IP subnet planning is a way to manage how TCP/IP networks are split. It is important because switched networks can operate without intervention for long periods of time but TCP/IP Internets need much support and tuning. Subnet planning covers the need for TCP/IP management efforts and expertise.
