Description
The protocol which takes data from a users
application program and passes it to the IP
for transfer across the internet. The reverse
operation is performed at the destination
computer, i.e. the TCP reassembles the data
(from individual packets) and forwards them
to the users application program. The close
relation with the IP means that the terms are
usually used in combination, i.e. TCP/IP.

of customers, e.g. one for outgoing email, one for incoming email, and may well have several for general

Bandwidth is a measure of the available capacity of a network (to carry data) measured
in bits per second.
The transmission rate is a measure of the number of pieces of information that have
been transferred during a specific time period, usually also measured in bits per second.
A high bandwidth means more information can be carried in a given time, so a higher
transmission rate is achieved. Insufficient bandwidth can result in websites and servers
appearing to run very slowly.
