Line 222: ==Implementations== {{unreferenced section\|date=March 2014}} The Internet protocol suite does not presume any specific hardware or software environment. It only requires that hardware and a software layer exists that is capable of sending and receiving packets on a computer network. As a result, the suite has been implemented on essentially every computing platform. A minimal implementation of TCP/IP includes the following: [[Internet Protocol]] (IP), [[Address Resolution Protocol]] (ARP), [[Internet Control Message Protocol]] (ICMP), [[Transmission Control Protocol]] (TCP), [[User Datagram Protocol]] (UDP), and [[Internet Group Management Protocol]] (IGMP)<ref>{{Cite\| publisher = IETF\| doi = 10.17487/RFC1122\| last = Braden\| first = Robert T.\| title = RFC 1122: Requirements for internet hosts - communication layers\| ~~date~~year = 1989~~-10~~}}</ref>. In addition to IP, ICMP, TCP, UDP, Internet Protocol version 6 requires [[Neighbor Discovery Protocol]] (NDP), [[ICMPv6]], and [[Multicast Listener Discovery]] (MLD) and is often accompanied by an integrated [[IPSec]] security layer. ==See also==
