TCP/IP and UDP/IP

In the field of computer networks, the term TCP/IP encompasses all protocols for the Internet.

Examples include Ethernet PHY, Ethernet MAC, IPv4, IPv6, TCP, UDP, DHCP, and HTTP.

In other areas, however, there is a tendency to classify TCP/IP and UDP/IP.

As the industry changes, the concept of the technology term seems to have become ambiguous.TCP/IP literally means that it uses communications and applications based on TCP.

UDP/IP, on the other hand, means using communications and applications based on UDP.

It may not matter much, but it seems to be a lot more confusing than standard papers.

Don’t think complicated, and if you use TCP/IP and UDP/IP in the document to classify them, you should think of each of them separately and reference them.

If you don’t categorize the opposite, you should consider TCP/IP to be a protocol for the Internet.
