Network/Ports
TCP/IP
This menu item is used to view and change the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol settings. Internet Protocol
(IP) specifies the format of packets, also called datagrams, and the addressing scheme. Most networks combine IP with a
higher-level protocol called Transmission Control Protocol (TCP). TCP enables two hosts to establish a connection and
exchange streams of data. TCP guarantees delivery of data and also guarantees that packets are delivered in the same
order in which they were sent.
