TCP Protocol

TCP stands for “Transmission Control Protocol”, it is a fundamental protocol within the TCP/IP protocol suite — a collection of standards that allow systems to communicate over the Internet.  TCP is a  reliable and connection oriented protocol. It also includes error checking, which ensures each packet is delivered as requested. It defines how to establishContinue reading “TCP Protocol”
