What is "TCP"?
TCP, or Transmission Control Protocol, is a standard used to ensure reliable communication over a network, such as the Internet. It breaks data into smaller packets before sending it and then reassembles the packets in the correct order at the receiving end. TCP also checks for errors and requests retransmission of lost or corrupted packets, ensuring that the data reaches its destination accurately. It is often used for applications that require reliable, orderly delivery, such as web browsing, email, and file transfers.
