[Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol] The
|
|||
|
|
wide-area-networking protocol that makes the Internet work, and the only
|
|||
|
|
one most hackers can speak the name of without laughing or retching.
|
|||
|
|
Unlike such allegedly ‘standard’ competitors such as X.25,
|
|||
|
|
DECnet, and the ISO 7-layer stack, TCP/IP evolved primarily by actually
|
|||
|
|
being <span class="emphasis"><em>used</em></span>, rather than being handed down from on high
|
|||
|
|
by a vendor or a heavily-politicized standards committee. Consequently, it
|
|||
|
|
(a) works, (b) actually promotes cheap cross-platform connectivity, and (c)
|
|||
|
|
annoys the hell out of corporate and governmental empire-builders
|
|||
|
|
everywhere. Hackers value all three of these properties. See

was an ongoing technical/political war between the majority of sites still

running AX.25 and the TCP/IP relays.
