The Internet Protocol (IP) is a protocol The protocols in human communication are separate rules about appearance, speaking, listening and understanding. All these rules, also called protocols of conversation, represent different layers of communication. They work together to help people successfully communicate. The need for protocols also applies to network devices. Computers have no used for communicating data across a packet-switched Packet switching is a digital network communications method that groups all transmitted data – irrespective of content, type, or structure – into suitably-sized blocks, called packets. Packet switching features delivery of variable-bit-rate data streams over a shared network. When traversing network adapters, switches, routers and other internetwork Internetworking involves connecting two or more computer networks via gateways using a common routing technology. The result is called an internetwork using the Internet Protocol Suite The Internet Protocol Suite is the set of communications protocols used for the Internet and other similar networks. It is named from two of the most important protocols in it: the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and the Internet Protocol (IP), which were the first two networking protocols defined in this standard. Today's IP networking, also referred to as TCP/IP.

IP is the primary protocol in the Internet Layer The Internet Layer is a group of internetworking methods in the TCP/IP protocol suite which is the foundation of the Internet . It is the group of methods, protocols, and specifications which are used to transport datagrams (packets) from the originating host across network boundaries, if necessary, to the destination host specified by a network of the Internet Protocol Suite The Internet Protocol Suite is the set of communications protocols used for the Internet and other similar networks. It is named from two of the most important protocols in it: the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and the Internet Protocol (IP), which were the first two networking protocols defined in this standard. Today's IP networking and has the task of delivering distinguished protocol datagrams (packets) from the source host to the destination host solely based on their addresses. For this purpose the Internet Protocol defines addressing methods and structures for datagram encapsulation In computer networking, encapsulation is a method of designing modular communication protocols in which logically separate functions in the network are abstracted from their underlying structures by inclusion or information hiding within higher level objects. The first major version of addressing structure, now referred to as Internet Protocol Version 4 (IPv4) Internet Protocol version 4 is the fourth revision in the development of the Internet Protocol (IP) and it is the first version of the protocol to be widely deployed. Together with IPv6, it is at the core of standards-based internetworking methods of the Internet. IPv4 is still by far the most widely deployed Internet Layer protocol, as IPv6 is is still the dominant protocol of the Internet, although the successor, Internet Protocol Version 6 (IPv6) Internet Protocol version 6 is the next-generation Internet Protocol version designated as the successor to IPv4, the first implementation used in the Internet that is still in dominant use currently[update]. It is an Internet Layer protocol for packet-switched internetworks. The main driving force for the redesign of Internet Protocol is the is being deployed actively worldwide.

Q. How much does IP TV (Internet Protocol Television) cost and is it available now?
Asked by punchline67 - Sun Mar 19 18:05:53 2006 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Ziff-Davis (remember TechTV before Comcast bought it and turned it into G4?) is investing SERIOUS cash into this technology and so are several other big media players. As I understand it now, all costs are offset through advertising... time will tell if HBO changes this model.
