What is the difference between ipx spx and tcp ip?

Answer 1

It's very detailed. TCP and IPX are protocals that sort your data into a certain pattern so that you can transmit it over your line (phone, cable, ethernet, etc). The receiver than recongnized this specific pattern and can re-assemble the data back into it's original format. TCP and IPX are just types of patterns that are used to send data. TCP is used for your internet connection and your LAN. IPX is an older protocol that is dying out. It is still used in some video game interfaces. There is much more detail in the the exact way they organize data. I'm sure there are reports on this subject you can find on Google.

Answer 2

TCP : Its a protocol responsible for the data delivery of a packet

IP :Its a logical addressing

TCP is a Layer 4 (transport) protocol

IP is a layer 3 (network) protocol. TCP runs on top of IP.

Answer 3

IPX/SPX is a proprietary protocol developed by Novell, and TCP/IP is an open protocol, not owned by anyone.

In addition, the two protocols do similar things, with transport and routing. The main difference is the addressing type and the frame types are different.

Answer 4

Because

IPX

is always dynamically routed, and the routing architecture works by "learning" network addressing automatically, there is usually no need to do anything special in the setup of an

IPX network

in order to get routing to function

An IPX address consists of a 4-byte Network Number, a 6-byte Node Number, and a 2-byte Socket Number. The node number is usually the hardware address of the interface card, and must be unique inside the particular IPX network. The network number must be the same for all nodes on a particular physical network segment.

Socket numbers

correspond to the particular service being accessed.

Answer 5

in simple words

ip is connection less and so not that reliable

tcp is connection oriented and hence highly reliable..
