Transmission Control Protocol on OSI Transport Layer 4 provides
reliable transport over the network for data transmitted using IP
(network layer three). It is an end-to-end protocol defining rules
and procedures for data exchange between hosts on top of
connectionless IP. TCP uses a timer to track outstanding packets,
checks error in incoming packets, and retransmits packets if
requested.
The Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol suite
provides standards and rules for data communication between
networks on the Internet. It is the worldwide Internetworking
standard and the basic communications protocol of the Internet.
