Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) is an Internet standard transport layer protocol. It is connection-oriented and stream-oriented, as opposed to UserDatagramProtocol (UDP).
Most commonly found as the "TCP/IP Protocol Suite" - TransmissionControlProtocol over InternetProtocol. This is a common shorthand which refers to the suite of transport and application protocols which run over IP.
-RFCs?
+; RFC:793 - Transmission Control Protocol :
+The original TCP definition. Also STD7.
+
+; RFC:1180 - TCP/IP Tutorial
+: A tutorial on the TCP/IP protocol suite, focusing particularly on the steps in forwarding an IP datagram from source host to destination host through a router.
+
+; RFC:3168 - The Addition of Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN) to IP :
+A two-bit IP packet header field that allows to reduce the number of TCP retransmissions in the Internet.
+
+; RFC:1323 - TCP Extensions for High Performance
+: Defines TCP Window Scale option, timestamps, and protection against wrapped sequence numbers (PAWS).
+
+; RFC:2018 - TCP Selective Acknowledgement Options
+: Defines SACK (a technique to better recover from multiple packet losses per round-trip time interval).
