Tcp
TCP stands for Transmission Control Protocol. It is a fundamental communication standard used in computer networking that assures that data packets are transmitted over the internet in the correct order, without duplication or loss. It provides a reliable and ordered data transfer mechanism, which is crucial for many applications requiring data accuracy and integrity. TCP ensures that the receiving device gets the data packets in the same order in which they were sent and that no packets are missing or repeated. This is achieved through a process called handshaking and sequence numbering. Meetings such as the three-way handshake are used to confirm that the connection is established.
