This appendix is intended to provide information to help you gain

TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) is a suite
of protocols designed to define the way data is passed to

of protocols designed to define the way data is passed to

TCP/IP is rapidly becoming the most used set of protocols. The main
reason this is happening is the fact that the internet only uses
TCP/IP. If you have a network that you wish to connect to the
internet, you must be using TCP/IP to communicate.

Internet Protocol (IP)
When information is sent across the network, the data is broken
down into small packets. Each packet is sent independently of one
another. IP routes all data packets on the network and provides
connectionless, nonguaranteed delivery of data packets across the
network. Each node on the network is assigned an IP address,
including HP JetDirect connected devices.
