The Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) is a fundamental communication protocol in computer networking that ensures reliable and ordered data delivery between devices over a network. TCP incorporates error control mechanisms to handle data transmission errors efficiently and maintain the integrity of the transmitted data. Two key methods used by TCP for error control are the

Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) is a core protocol in the suite of Internet protocols that manages the transmission of data between devices over a network. TCP utilizes sequence numbers as a fundamental mechanism in managing data segments and acknowledgments to ensure reliable and ordered data delivery. Sequence numbers in TCP serve several critical functions in
