The internet Protocol (IP) is a protocol used for communicating data across a packet-switched internetwork using the Internet Protocol Suite, also referred to as TCP/IP. IP is the primary protocol in the Internet Layer of the Internet Protocol Suite and has the task of delivering distinguished protocol datagrams (packets) from the source host to the destination host solely based on their addresses. For this purpose the Internet Protocol defines addressing methods and structures for datagram encapsulation. The first major version of addressing structure, now referred to as Internet Protocol Version 4 (IPv4) is still the dominant protocol of the Internet, although the successor, Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6) is being deployed actively worldwide.
Tcp/ip
ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol)
IP, or Internet Protocol, is required to use the public Internet. While sometimes called "TCP/IP", TCP-Transmission Control Protocol-is only one part of the Internet Protocol suite, which includes many others, such as UDP (User Datagram Protocol), ICMP (Internet Control Message Protocol), etc.
IMAP (internet message access protocol)
internet control message protocol
breaks large amounts of data into packets of a fixed size, transmits the packets over the Internet using the Internet protocol (IP), and sequentially numbers them to allow reassembly at the recipient's end.
Internet Message Access Protocol
Internet destination refers to the location that a process is aimed to get to. This part of the internet control message protocol with the destination expected to decode the message.
IMAP stands for Internet message access protocol. It is an alternative protocol. It can be though of as a remote file server.
There are various protocols ftp: file transfer protocol smtp: simple mail transfer protocol pop3: post office protocol ip: internet protocol tcp: transmission control protocol ospf: open shortest path first igrp: interior gateway routing protocol eigrp: enhanced interior gateway routing protocol rip: routing information protocol http: hyper text transfer protocol udp: user datagram protocol icmp: internet control message protocol
IMAP is short for Internet Message Access Protocol. IMAP is a mail retrieval protocol that was developed as a more sophisticated alternative to POP3 . POP3 Stands for post office protocol and was used earlier.
The IMAP (Internet Message Access Protocol) email protocol usually uses port 143.
