It ensures data integrity, error recovery, and flow control during data transmission. 🔄 TCP Service Model TCP provides the following services: Reliable Data Transfer: Guarantees the delivery of data in the correct order. Flow Control: Prevents network congestion by adjusting the rate of data transmission. Error Detection and Recovery: Uses checksums to detect errors and requires retransmissions in case of loss. Connection Establishment: Three-way handshake to establish a reliable connection. Connection Release: A formal process to terminate a connection. 🏷 TCP Segment Header The TCP segment header includes: ...
