A TCP handshake is the process that allows two computers to establish a connection with each other. It consists of three steps:
1. The client sends a “SYN” packet to the server, requesting a connection.
2. The server responds with a “SYN-ACK” packet, acknowledging the request.
3. The client then sends an “ACK” packet to the server, confirming that the connection has been established.
Once the handshake is complete, the two computers can then exchange data over the connection.
