TCP 3-Way Handshake Process in Networking
Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) along with the Internet Protocol (IP) works together as a team. While TCP determines how a network conversation will be established and maintained, IP determines how the computers connected to each other will exchange packets of data. In this network conversation established through TCP, application programs exchange data.
TCP/IP Suite Model – an application layer is from where an application requests a connection with the server. Information is transferred from the application layer to the transfer layer. There are two protocols for this transfer in the transport layer :
TCP/IP Suite Model – an application layer is from where an application requests a connection with the server. Information is transferred from the application layer to the transfer layer. There are two protocols for this transfer in the transport layer :
- TCP (Transmission Control Protocol)– TCP
provides reliability for the established connection and prevents data from being sent to the out of order upper layer application. Sometimes it may help to reduce the congestion in the network.
- UDP (User Datagram Protocol) – UDP is a
connectionless protocol meant only for sending data packages after that work is done the connection is terminated altogether. It also does not need the acknowledgments to work. Routing protocol updates and server availability, multicast applications and streaming applications for videos and audios are one of the uses of this lightweight protocol.
