Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) is a core protocol of the internet protocol suite. It is the most commonly used transport layer protocol and is responsible for reliable delivery of data between applications on the Internet. TCP works by providing reliable, ordered, and error–checked delivery of messages of data segments between hosts on a network. It ensures proper sequencing of all data segments, reliable flow control and error–checking of packets. It is also used to establish and terminate a connection between two computers. In addition, it provides an interface for applications to send messages through the network.
