  TCP/IP 
  n  :  a  set  of  protocols  (including  TCP)  developed  for  the 
  internet  in  the  1970s  to  get  data  from  one  network  device 
  to  another  [syn:  {transmission  control  protocol/internet 
  protocol},  {TCP/IP}] 
 
  From  Jargon  File  (4.2.3,  23  NOV  2000)  [jargon]: 
 
  TCP/IP  /T'C-P  I'P/  n.  1.  [Transmission  Control 
  Protocol/Internet  Protocol]  The  wide-area-networking  protocol  that 
  makes  the  Internet  work  and  the  only  one  most  hackers  can  speak  the 
  name  of  without  laughing  or  retching.  Unlike  such  allegedly  `standard' 
  competitors  such  as  X.25,  DECnet,  and  the  ISO  7-layer  stack,  TCP/IP 
  evolved  primarily  by  actually  being  _used_,  rather  than  being  handed 
  down  from  on  high  by  a  vendor  or  a  heavily-politicized  standards 
  committee.  Consequently,  it  a  works  b  actually  promotes  cheap 
  cross-platform  connectivity  and  c  annoys  the  hell  out  of  corporate 
  and  governmental  empire-builders  everywhere.  Hackers  value  all  three  of 
  these  properties.  See  {creationism}.  2.  [Amateur  Packet  Radio]  Formerly 
  expanded  as  "The  Crap  Phil  Is  Pushing".  The  reference  is  to  Phil  Karn, 
  KA9Q,  and  the  context  was  an  ongoing  technical/political  war  between  the 
  majority  of  sites  still  running  AX.25  and  the  TCP/IP  relays.  TCP/IP  won.

  From  The  Free  On-line  Dictionary  of  Computing  (13  Mar  01)  [foldoc]: 
 
  TCP/IP 
 
    {Transmission  Control  Protocol}  over 
  {Internet  Protocol}. 
 
  The  {de  facto}  {standard}  {Ethernet}  {protocols}  incorporated 
  into  {4.2BSD}  {Unix}.  TCP/IP  was  developed  by  {DARPA}  for 
  {internetworking}  and  encompasses  both  {network  layer}  and 
  {transport  layer}  protocols.  While  {TCP}  and  {IP}  specify  two 
  protocols  at  specific  {protocol  layers},  TCP/IP  is  often  used 
  to  refer  to  the  entire  {DoD}  {protocol}  suite  based  upon 
  these  including  {telnet},  {FTP},  {UDP}  and  {RDP}. 
 
  See  also  {ICMP},  {SMTP},  {SNMP}.
