IBM DB2 is a family of relational database server products developed by IBM that have been extended to support object-relational features and non-relational structures like JSON and XML. There are three main products in the DB2 family: DB2 for Linux, UNIX and Windows (informally known as DB2 LUW), DB2 for z/OS (mainframe), and DB2 for i (formerly OS/400), plus a version for IBM's Virtual Storage Extended (VSE) operating system.

Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) is the set of networking protocols that define end-to-end connectivity specifying how data should be packeted, addressed, transmitted, routed and received at the destination. This functionality is organized into four abstraction layers which are used to sort all related protocols according to the scope of networking involved.
