Transmission Control Protocol (TCP)
TCP Three-Way Handshake
The TCP three-way handshake is an ordered connection-establishment procedure performed before any application data is transmitted. It consists of three sequential steps:
- The initiating client transmits a SYN (synchronize) packet to request opening a connection.
- The recipient server responds with a SYN-ACK packet to acknowledge the request and signal consent.
- The client sends a final ACK packet back to the server, establishing the bidirectional connection.
While this preliminary handshake ensures synchronized and reliable communications, it introduces a slight startup delay compared to connectionless protocols.
