Definition of Transfer facility:  TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol and Internet Protocol) is a communications protocol for exchanging information between computers and processes.  TCP/IP protocols are used on the Internet, Intranet, and many other private networks throughout the world. 

TCP/IP is an open standard intended to be hardware independent, supporting communications between any two computers, over any type of network.  For two computers to communicate they must each be running TCP/IP, each connected to a TCP/IP network (the same network, or networks that can communicate with each other), and with each computer authorized to accept communications from the other.
