FUNDAMENTALS OF COMPUTER

Detailed explanation-1: -Transmission Control Protocol accepts data from a data stream, divides it into chunks, and adds a TCP header creating a TCP segment. The TCP segment is then encapsulated into an Internet Protocol (IP) datagram, and exchanged with peers.

Detailed explanation-2: -TCP/IP uses packet switching to send data across a network. In packet switching, messages are broken up into very small pieces, called packets.

Detailed explanation-3: -A packet (called a segment in case of TCP) contains a checksum field used for error control. TCP prevents the sender from sending in more data than the receiver can handle with the window size provided by the receiver. It guarantees the reliable delivery of segments.

Detailed explanation-4: -Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) is a standard that defines how to establish and maintain a network conversation by which applications can exchange data. TCP works with the Internet Protocol (IP), which defines how computers send packets of data to each other.

Detailed explanation-5: -In common TCP parlance, a message with a control bit set is often named for that bit. For example, if the SYN control bit is set the segment is often called “a SYN message”. Similarly, one with the ACK bit set is “an ACK message” or even just “an ACK”.
