For example, when a tcp connection needs to send a packet of data to another device over ethernet. The tcp segment is then encapsulated into an internet protocol ip datagram, and exchanged with peers. Thus this protocol has the responsibility of identifying hosts based upon their logical addresses and to route data among them over the underlying network. This section describes the encapsulation of a modbus request or response when it is carried on a modbus tcp ip network. Controlling this process through routers and firewalls yields a high degree of security and is important to both firewalls and virtual private networks.

Internet protocol is one of the major protocols in the tcp ip protocols suite. It is typically used by applications that require guaranteed, inorder delivery of packets. Tcp also improves the capability of ip by specifying port numbers. Most networks use tcp ip as the network protocol, or set of rules for communication between devices, and the rules of tcp ip require information to be split into packets that contain both a segment of data to be transferred and the address where the data is to be sent. This address, which operates at layer 3, allows one computer to locate another computer on a network.
