Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) The most common {transport layer} {protocol} used on {Ethernet} and the {Internet}. It was developed by {DARPA}. TCP is the {connection-oriented} protocol built on top of {Internet Protocol} (IP) and is nearly always seen in the combination {TCP/IP} (TCP over IP). It adds {reliable communication} and {flow-control} and provides {full-duplex}, process-to-process connections. TCP is defined in {STD 7} and {RFC} 793. {User Datagram Protocol} is the other, connectionless, protocol that runs on top of IP. (2001-06-14)
