Unless it's being sent by email in which case you might consider SMTP.

The IP part of the Internet Protocol Suite is the protocol for the Internet Layer, which deals with addressing hosts and *routing* datagrams from host to host so that they ultimately get delivered from source host to target host. TCP, on the other hand, is the protocol for the Transport Layer, which is specifically involved with moving the datagrams from host to host. IP establishes each host-to-host hop to use, and TCP does the transport between those pairs of hosts.
