Windows 2000 TCP/IP

Networks in today's organizations require a protocol that rates high in performance and scalability, and places a high degree of importance on Internet interoperability. The TCP/IP protocol is an industry-standard suite of protocols that is the foundation for large-scale internetworks that span LAN and WAN networks, and is quickly becoming the leading protocol for both intranets and the Internet.

Windows 2000 TCP/IP is:

• A networking protocol based on industry standards.
• A routable networking protocol that supports connecting Windows-based servers and clients to LANs and WANs.
• A scalable protocol for integrating Windows-based servers and workstations with heterogeneous systems.
• A foundation for gaining access to global Internet services.

Microsoft TCP/IP provides basic and advanced features that enable a computer running Windows 2000 to connect and share information with computers running other operating systems such as UNIX.
