Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) is a connection-oriented subprotocol that establishes a reliable, end-to-end communication between two hosts. It ensures that all transmitted data packets are received by the destination host in the correct order, without errors or duplication. Unlike connectionless protocols like UDP, TCP establishes a virtual circuit between the communicating hosts before transmitting data, and continuously manages and acknowledges the transmission of data until the circuit is closed.
