TCP-IP Transmission Control Protocol / Internet Protocol (TCP/
IP)
is a family of network protocols and is, because of its
great significance for the Internet, also called the Internet
protocol family.
The identification of computers participating in the
network is implemented via IP addresses. A computer or
any device with an IP address is called a
Host in TCP/IP
jargon. Originally, TCP was developed as a monolithic
network protocol, but was subsequently split into the
protocols IP and TCP. The core group of this protocol
family is supplemented by the User Datagram Protocol
(UDP) as an additional transport protocol. There are also
numerous auxiliary and application protocols, such as
DHCP and ARP.
Telnet Telnet ( Telecommunication Network ) is the name of a
widely distributed Internet network protocol. This old and
well-known Client/Server protocol is based on a
character-orientated data exchange via a TCP
connection. Programs that implement the function of the
end device are often also called Telnet. Telnet comprises
two services: Telnet Client and Telnet Server.

V/G‐strip The DIN standard DIN 41612 , generally know as the
VG­strip , defines the design of plug connectors which are
primarily used for multi-pin electrical connection of circuit
boards in the low voltage sector. The connector pin
number ranges from 20 to 160 pins.
