  TCP
  
     <networking, protocol> (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.
