TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) was developed by the US Government to build a heterogeneous (supporting multiple platforms) network across a wide area of the United States. In the early 1960’s, The US Department of Defense (DoD) needed a wide-area, cross-platform communication system. Initially, the TCP/IP suite of protocols was used to interconnect government, military and educational sites together. Later, this protocol suite became a standard for commercial use.
