TCP: Reliable Data Transmission Protocol for Networks

TCP stands for Transmission Control Protocol. It's a communication protocol that enables reliable data transmission over networks. TCP is responsible for breaking down data into smaller packets, guaranteeing their correct delivery, and reassembling them at the destination. It provides a connection-oriented and reliable communication service between two devices, ensuring that data is delivered in the correct order and without errors. TCP is widely used in applications such as web browsing, email, file transfer, and other types of network communication.
