Earlier versions of TCP/IP were a single specification, up until TCP/IPv3. With IPv4, the Internet Protocol became a separate specification.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Davis |first=Lidija |last2= |title=Vint Cerf - We Still Have 80 Per Cent of the World to Connect |url=https://archive.nytimes.com/www.nyt...dwriteweb-vint_cerf_we_still_have_80_per.html |access-date=2024-05-10 |website=[[The New York Times]]}}</ref> | |
Internet Protocol version 4 is described in [[IETF]] publication RFC 791 (September 1981), replacing an earlier definition of January 1980 (RFC 760). In March 1982, the US Department of Defense decided on the [[Internet Protocol Suite]] (TCP/IP) as the standard for all military [[computer network]]ing.<ref>{{Cite web|title=A Brief History of IPv4|url=https://ipv4marketgroup.com/a-brief-history-of-ipv4/|access-date=2020-08-19|website=IPv4 Market Group|language=en}}</ref> | |

The Internet Protocol is the protocol that defines and enables [[internetwork]]ing at the [[internet layer]] of the Internet Protocol Suite. In essence it forms the Internet. It uses a logical addressing system and performs ''routing'', which is the forwarding of packets from a source host to the next router that is one hop closer to the intended destination host on another network. | The Internet Protocol is the protocol that defines and enables [[internetwork]]ing at the [[internet layer]] of the Internet Protocol Suite.
