Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -In terms of the OSI model, TCP is a transport-layer protocol. It provides a reliable virtual-circuit connection between applications; that is, a connection is established before data transmission begins. Data is sent without errors or duplication and is received in the same order as it is sent.

Detailed explanation-2: -As mentioned earlier, TCP is the most common transport layer protocol. It is used by many application layer protocols like the HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP) and FTP.

Detailed explanation-3: -The user’s command or message passes through the TCP/IP protocol stack on the local system. Then, the command or message passes across the network media to the protocols on the remote system. The protocols at each layer on the sending host add information to the original data.
