TCP

TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) is a connection-oriented, reliable, and ordered protocol used for transmitting data over an IP network. It establishes a connection between a sender and receiver before data transfer begins, ensures that data packets arrive in the correct sequence without errors, and provides mechanisms for retransmission of lost packets and flow control to manage network congestion.
