Exploring Communication Protocols: Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) Communication protocols are the cornerstone of network transmission, dictating how data is exchanged between devices. They ensure efficient and reliable communication, including mechanisms to recover data lost in transit. One key communication protocol you should know is the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) TCP is an internet communication protocol that allows two devices to form a connection and stream data seamlessly. It uses a three-way handshake process to establish a connection: 1. The device sends a synchronize (SYN) request to a server. 2. The server responds with a SYN/ACK packet to acknowledge receipt of the device's request. 3. The device then sends an ACK packet back to the server, establishing a TCP connection. In the TCP/IP model, TCP operates at the transport layer, playing a critical role in data transmission.
