transmission control protocol (tcp)
Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) is a widely used communication protocol that ensures reliable digital data transmission over networks. It breaks down large data into small packets and guarantees their successful delivery by establishing a connection between sender and receiver and managing the flow of information. TCP verifies that all packets arrive in the correct order, resending any lost or corrupted packets, thereby enabling error-free and orderly data communication.
