       n : a set of protocols (including TCP) developed for the

From Virtual Entity of Relevant Acronyms (Version 1.9, June 2002) [vera]:

From Jargon File (4.3.1, 29 Jun 2001) [jargon]:

  TCP/IP /T'C-P I'P/ n. 1. [Transmission Control Protocol/Internet
     Protocol] The wide-area-networking protocol that makes the Internet
     work, and the only one most hackers can speak the name of without
     laughing or retching. Unlike such allegedly `standard' competitors such
     as X.25, DECnet, and the ISO 7-layer stack, TCP/IP evolved primarily by
     actually being _used_, rather than being handed down from on high by a
     vendor or a heavily-politicized standards committee. Consequently, it
     (a) works, (b) actually promotes cheap cross-platform connectivity, and
     (c) annoys the hell out of corporate and governmental empire-builders
     everywhere. Hackers value all three of these properties. See
     {creationism}. 2. [Amateur Packet Radio] Formerly expanded as "The Crap
     Phil Is Pushing". The reference is to Phil Karn, KA9Q, and the context
     was an ongoing technical/political war between the majority of sites
     still running AX.25 and the TCP/IP relays. TCP/IP won.

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (27 SEP 03) [foldoc]:

  TCP/IP
       
           {Transmission Control Protocol} over
          {Internet Protocol}.
       
          The {de facto} {standard} {Ethernet} {protocols} incorporated
          into {4.2BSD} {Unix}.  TCP/IP was developed by {DARPA} for
          {internetworking} and encompasses both {network layer} and
          {transport layer} protocols.  While {TCP} and {IP} specify two
          protocols at specific {protocol layers}, TCP/IP is often used
          to refer to the entire {DoD} {protocol} suite based upon
          these, including {telnet}, {FTP}, {UDP} and {RDP}.
       
          See also {ICMP}, {SMTP}, {SNMP}.
