Article Summary
This article summarizes the TCP/IP protocol. It gives a quick simple explanation, however I don't think thte average person will understand some of the jargon. 

Relevance to the Class
It is important to understand how the internet and web work. Networks are an important part of how we design websites and understanding our audience.

Key Quote
"For instance, your web browser talks to network software using TCP. IP is the communication that takes place between computers. So IP is what sends packets between computer. It can also route packets to a correct destination. "
