Hello all
Why internet protocol suite is called as a TCP/IP suite?
We use both UDP and TCP as a transport layer protocol in different services.
Then why the entire internetwork rules and conditions are called only TCP/IP suite? (why only TCP is used in that term? ).
(Why don't we call as a IP suite, which makes more sense).
Thanks&Regards
Siva
