Transmission Control Protocol (TCP)
Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) is a core transport-layer protocol that provides reliable, ordered data delivery between programs running on networked hosts. Operating directly on top of the Internet Protocol (IP), TCP numbers each unit of data, confirms receipts through acknowledgments, resends lost packets, and regulates transmission speed to avoid congestion. TCP requires a connection to be established via a handshake before data is transmitted, making it ideal when every byte must arrive accurately, such as for web pages, email, and file transfers.
