Arif Deshmukh said:
What TCP/IP stack means. It refers to all the necessary components to implement the TCP/IP protocol. It usually specifically means the software (or firmware) - but you can get some "TCP/IP Stack" implementations in hardware (ie, TCP/IP on a chip). I'm not sure where the term "stack" actually comes from, but I assume it's because protocols like TCP/IP are usually considered as a number of layers "stacked" one on top of the other...? If some one says it has TCP/IP stack built in what it means. It means the TCP/IP functionality is built-in; ie, integral - so you don't have to add it yourself. |
