A definition of TCP from Wikipedia follows:
The Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) is one of the core protocols of the Internet protocol suite (IP), and is so common that the entire suite is often called TCP/IP. TCP provides reliable, ordered, and error-checked delivery of a stream of octets between programs running on computers connected to a local area network, intranet, or the public Internet. It resides at the transport layer. Applications that do not require the reliability of a TCP connection may instead use the connectionlessUser Datagram Protocol (UDP), which emphasizes low-overhead operation and reduced latency rather than error checking and delivery validation.
