- nailer 8y agoAlways wondered about this - is IP 'internet protocol' or something else, since it's much lower level than IP? I've been using IP route 15 for 15, maybe 20 years now and hinestly have no idea.
- sverige 8y agoYes, it is 'internet protocol' [0] and part of TCP/IP.[1] [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Protocol https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Protocol [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_protocol_suite https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_protocol_suite
- nailer 8y agoI know what IP is. Your reference doesn't answer the question as to whether 'ip' means IP.
