The process used to establish a TCP connection is known as the three-way handshake. It involves the following steps:
1. The client sends a TCP SYN (synchronize) packet to the server with a randomly generated sequence number.
2. The server responds with a SYN-ACK (synchronize-acknowledge) packet, containing its own sequence number, and an acknowledgment of the client’s sequence number.
3. The client responds with an ACK (acknowledge) packet, acknowledging the server’s sequence number.
At this point, the connection is established and data can be exchanged between the client and the server.
