How TCP/IP Works: TCP/IP. How TCP/IP Works In this section TCP/IP for IP version 4 (IPv4) is a networking protocol suite that Microsoft Windows uses to communicate over the internet with other computers. It interacts with Windows naming services like DNS and security technologies, such as IPsec primarily, as these help facilitate the successful and secure transfer of IP packets between machines. Ideally, TCP/IP is used whenever Windows-based computers communicate over networks. This subject describes the components of the TCP/IP Protocol Suite, the protocol architecture, which functions TCP/IP performs, how addresses are structured and assigned, and how packets are structured and routed. Microsoft Windows Server 2003 provides extensive support for the Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) suite, as both a protocol and a set of services for connectivity and management of IP internetworks. TCP/IP Protocol Architecture The following figure shows the TCP/IP protocol architecture.
