I am starting out in IT and am about to complete A+ cert course. I understand that TCP/IP is a foundation element of the internet and is implemented with many other protocols. I would like to know exactly what it’s function is tho. What does it do, how long has it been around, and how it work in tandem with other protocols? I’ve tried researching it but always end up reading a bunch of high level tech jargon.

Others have already answered the question adequately I suppose, but just thought of pointing out that you may also want to lookup up others like arp, udp, smtp, icmp, rtcp, sctp… You can basically run Wireshark or a similar tool and go from there (also maybe YouTube wap, that’s a very important protocol to learn in college ;-))
