SSL vs. SSL over tcp/ip

Hi there,

What's the difference between implementing pure SSL vs. SSL over tcp/
ip? what's the advantage/disadvantage when comparing them?

Can I say that on top of old tcp/ip application, we can add SSL on top
of it for less effort, and for new application we go ahead to use pure
SSL?


Thanks and regards,

.
