You can't actually communicate useful data over the internet using JUST IP, as far as I know -- even basic pings etc. use a protocol on top of IP (the other main one; ICMP). | |

TCP makes an effort to ensure that sent data (which is split into small parts and sent via IP packets) will make it to the recipient (by eventually resending small parts if required). | |
