The Language of the Internet: Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)

As the name implies, IPX/SPX is made up of two essential pieces (Exhibit 8.12). The SPX portion behaves in much the same manner as TCP and has the same function to perform (ensuring reliability, and packing and unpacking the data). The IPX portion of the protocol behaves very much like the IP portion of TCP/IP. The major difference is in the addressing: as part of the address, IPX incorporates the media access control (MAC) address of the devices; thus, the address of an IPX device has both the layer 2 and layer 3 information required for communication to occur.
Strategic Vulnerabilities

There are also examples of a changing environment that can be very destructive to a company when they fail to adapt quickly. A good example is the use of the IPX protocol, which was so popular in the 1980s and early 1990s. With Novell maintaining a tight lock on the use of this protocol, customers sought more competitive resources. The lack of IPX entrenchment in a rapidly evolving technology landscape led to adoption of an open standard alternative, transmission control protocol/Internet protocol (TCP/IP).
A Survey on Packet Switching Networks

On the other hand, main function of the routed protocols such as the IP (Internet protocol) is to carry the data within encapsulated packets. The routed protocol helps forward data packets from one network to others by providing appropriate addressing information – for example, Internet Protocols (IP) and Internet Packet Exchange (IPX).
