New words: Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) handshake #20
[x] add definition for new words: Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) / TCP handshake
Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) - TCP is a protocol which exists to enable the establishment of a connection and the exchange of streams of data (multiple data packets) between one or more computers. TCP guarantees the delivery of data and that packets will be delivered in the same order in which they were sent.
TCP handshake - A TCP handshake or three-way handshake is the first part in a three part process for TCP data transfer between a local host/client and a server. The handshake is a three-step method that requires both the client and server to exchange SYN and ACK (acknowledgment) packets to establish a connection before actual data communication begins.
Abbreviation of Transmission Control Protocol, and pronounced as separate letters. TCP is one of the main protocols in TCP/IP networks. Whereas the IP protocol deals only with packets, TCP enables two hosts to establish a connection and exchange streams of data. TCP guarantees delivery of data and also guarantees that packets will be delivered in the same order in which they were sent.
TCP protocol operations may be divided into three phases. Connections must be properly established in a multi-step handshake process (connection establishment) before entering the data transfer phase. After data transmission is completed, the connection termination closes established virtual circuits and releases all allocated resources.
A three-way handshake or TCP handshake is a method used in a TCP/IP network to create a connection between a local host/client and server. It is a three-step method that requires both the client and server to exchange SYN and ACK (acknowledgment) packets before actual data communication begins.
