Transmission Control Protocol

Get Certified Get Ahead

TCP is one of the main protocols in TCP/IP networks. Whereas the IP protocol deals only with packets, TCP enables two hosts to establish a connection and exchange streams of data. TCP guarantees delivery of data and also guarantees that packets will be delivered in the same order in which they were sent.

See NIST SP 800-82 Rev. 2 from API 1164 for detailed information.
