TCP

The Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) is a communication standard for programs and computing devices to exchange messages over a network.

TCP is a reliable, error-checked delivery protocol. It sends packets across a network and ensures that the data was successfully delivered.

TCP ensures the security and integrity of the data being transmitted by first establishing a connection between the client and server, and then performing a series of handshakes to validate the connection before transmission begins. TCP also breaks data into smaller packets to ensure data integrity.

HTTP, SMTP, and SSH are examples of protocols that run over TCP connections.
