TCP is One of the Protocols in the Internet Protocol Suite

TCP - Transport Control Protocol

TCP provides a “virtual” connection from one point to another.
The protocol guarantees reliable and in-order delivery of sender to
receiver data. TCP also distinguishes data for multiple, concurrent
applications (e.g. web server and email server) running on the same
host.
TCP supports many of the Internet's most popular application
protocols and resulting applications, including the world wide web, and
email.
