"The Internet protocol suite does not presume any specific hardware or software environment": seems to be incorrect and contrast to its later sentence "It only requires that hardware and a software layer exists that is capable of sending and receiving packets on a computer network." As for internet connection, specific types of hardware - physical media are required, i.e only radio frequency of WiFi ISM band and cellular, ethernet and satellite are used to connect to the Internet services, other

For implementations, the Internet protocol suite does requires the 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| year = 1989}}</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.
