Definition: TCP
(1) (Transmission Control Protocol) The reliable transport protocol within the TCP/IP protocol suite. TCP ensures that all data arrive accurately and 100% intact at the other end. TCP's unreliable counterpart is UDP, which is used for streaming media, VoIP and videoconferencing.
TCP is "connection oriented" and requires a handshake before the session can begin. See UDP and TCP/IP.
(2) (Tape Carrier Package) See tape automated bonding.
