TCP/IP Application Application TCP TCP IP IP Hardware Internet Hardware Sending computer Receiving computer • Message is sent from application layer to TCP layer • Message broken down into packets • TCP assigns a port number and sequence number • Packets and TCP header, passed on to IP • IP gives packets destination address • Hardware turns alphabetic text packets into electronic signals and transmit over phoneline • ISP router examines destination address and sends off • At the receiving end we start at the bottom of stack • Headers are stripped off as packet goes up the stack • When data reaches to application layer, message is assembled into its original form
