**[[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:t:tcp]] / [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:i:ip]]** helps determine how a specific [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:e:endpoint]] should be connected to the [[dido:public:ra:xapend:xapend.a_glossary:i:internet]] and how to transmit data between Endpoints. It helps create a virtual network when multiple networks are connected together.

It is specifically designed as a model to offer highly reliable and end-to-end byte stream over an unreliable internet.
