Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol – The underlying technology behind the internet and communications between computers in a network.

The first part, TCP, is the transport part, which matches the size of the messages on either end and guarantees that the correct message has been received. The IP part is the user’s equipment address on a network.

Every equipment in a TCP/IP network has its own IP address that is either dynamically assigned at start-up or permanently assigned. All TCP /IP messages contain the address of the destination network as well as the address of the destination station. This enables TCP /IP messages to be transmitted to multiple networks within an organization or worldwide.

This technology (www-technology), used by the Ascom openTAS platform, makes it possible to use all the application over internet.
