TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) is responsible for dividing files into chunks, adding headers containing information for reassembling packets in their original order, and error checking. UDP (User Datagram Protocol) does not have these features and is used for faster but less reliable data transmission. IP (Internet Protocol) is responsible for routing data packets to their destination but does not include features for error checking or reassembling packets. FTP (File Transfer Protocol) is a protocol used for transferring files between systems but does not handle packetization or error checking.
