TCP Definition: TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) is a standard that ensures reliable and ordered delivery of data packets over a network.
TCP, or Transmission Control Protocol, is a connection-oriented protocol that operates at the transport layer of the OSI model. It ensures reliable and ordered delivery of data between devices on a network. TCP establishes a connection between sender and receiver, breaks data into packets, numbers them for sequencing, and includes error-checking to ensure all packets are received and retransmits any lost packets.
