TCP
(TCP) The most common transport layer
protocol used on Ethernet and the Internet. It was
developed by DARPA.
TCP is the connection-oriented protocol built on top of
Internet Protocol (IP) and is nearly always seen in the
combination TCP/IP (TCP over IP). It adds reliable
communication and flow-control and provides full-duplex,
process-to-process connections.
TCP is defined in STD 7 and RFC 793.
User Datagram Protocol is the other, connectionless,
protocol that runs on top of IP.
