IP (which stands for Internet Protocol requires hosts to be given IP addresses and then can route packets among them.

TCP (which stands for Transmission Control Protocol) setup a virtual circuit between two hosts. Data of arbitrary size can then be sent across this circuit using the segmentation and reassembling capabilities of TCP. Other Transport protocols include UDP and ICMP.
