TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol / Internet Protocol) is the central protocol of the Internet (or actually two protocols, but they're tightly connected and usually discussed together). These protocols form the heart of the Internet protocol stack, which has, in all, between four and seven layers depending on how you count (doesn't Taco Bell have a burrito like that?). IP distinguishes computers on the Internet by means of IP addresses.
