It serves as the foundation for data communication on the internet and many local area networks (LANs). Here’s an overview of its key components, functionality, and relevance:  CLO 2: PLC Programming - 1 TCP/IP : Review Transmission Control Protocol (TCP):  Function: TCP is responsible for ensuring reliable communication between devices. It establishes a connection before data is sent, breaks the data into packets, and ensures that packets are delivered in order without errors. Internet Protocol (IP):  Function: IP is responsible for addressing and routing packets of data so they can travel across networks. It provides the means to send packets from the source to the destination based on their IP addresses.  Versions:  IPv4: The most widely used version, using 32-bit addresses (e.g., 192.168.1.1).  IPv6: Developed to replace IPv4 due to address exhaustion, using 128-bit addresses (e.g., 2001:0db8:85a3:0000:0000:8a2e:0370:7334).  CLO 2: PLC Programming - 1 TCP/IP : Review  32-Bit Addressing: IPv4 uses a 32-bit address scheme, allowing for approximately 4.3 billion unique addresses (2^32). These addresses are typically represented in decimal format as four octets (e.g., 192.168.1.1).  Address Classes: IPv4 addresses are divided into five classes (A, B, C, D, E), each serving different purposes:  Class A: Large networks (1.0.0.0 to 126.255.255.255), supporting millions of hosts.  Class B: Medium-sized networks (128.0.0.0 to 191.255.255.255), supporting thousands of hosts.  Class C: Smaller networks (192.0.0.0 to 223.255.255.255), supporting hundreds of hosts.  Class D: Used for multicast groups (224.0.0.0 to 239.255.255.255).  Class E: Reserved for experimental purposes (240.0.0.0 to 255.255.255.255).  CLO 2: PLC Programming - 1 TCP/IP : Review What is the default subnet mask for a Class C IP address? A) 255.255.0.0 B) 255.255.255.0 C) 255.255.255.255 D) 255.0.0.0 Answer: B) 255.255.255.0  CLO 2: PLC Programming - 1 TCP/IP : Review Which of the following IP addresses is a valid Class C address? A) 172.16.5.10 B) 10.0.0.5 C) 192.168.1.100 D) 223.255.255.256 Answer: C) 192.168.1.100 Videos to Watch for Exercises  Videos to Watch 1.
