- Tansmission Control Protocol
- The protocol which takes data from a user’s
application program and passes it to the IP
for transfer across the internet. The reverse
operation is performed at the destination
computer, i.e. the TCP reassembles the data
(from individual packets) and forwards them
to the user’s application program. The close
relation with the IP means that the terms
are usually used in combination, i.e. TCP/IP.
