What is tpc?

The TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) is a fundamental protocol of the internet protocol suite, which is used to transmit data over the internet reliably. TCP is a reliable, connection-oriented protocol that provides error-checking and flow control mechanisms, ensuring that all data is transmitted and received correctly.

TCP operates at the transport layer of the OSI (Open Systems Interconnection) model and provides a logical communication pathway between network applications on different hosts. TCP establishes a connection between two hosts and manages the exchange of data between them. It uses IP (Internet Protocol) as the underlying network protocol to send data packets between hosts.

TCP employs a variety of techniques, including congestion avoidance, error correction, and connection state management, to provide a reliable and efficient data transmission service. It is widely used in applications such as email, web browsing, file transfer, and remote access.
