Transmission Control Protocol
TCP
    (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.
