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.
