 1.3 The Internet Protocols
 ==========================
 
 The Internet Protocol Suite (usually referred to as just TCP/IP)(1)
 consists of a number of different protocols at different levels or
 "layers."  For our purposes, three protocols provide the fundamental
 communications mechanisms.  All other defined protocols are referred to
 as user-level protocols (e.g., HTTP, used later in this Info file).

 conquered the world, there are other networking protocol suites in
 existence and in use.
