Understanding TCP & UDP

 TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) is stateful. This means it maintains a connection state between the communicating parties throughout the communication session. Stateful Nature of TCP Connection Establishment : TCP requires a connection to be established between the sender and receiver before data transmission can begin. This is done through a process called the three-way handshake. Three-Way Handshake : This process involves the exchange of three messages (SYN, SYN-ACK, and ACK) to establish a reliable connection. Maintaining State : During the connection, TCP keeps track of various parameters to ensure reliable and ordered data delivery. Sequence Numbers : TCP assigns sequence numbers to each byte of data to ensure it is received in the correct order. Acknowledgements (ACKs) : The receiver sends acknowledgements for the received data packets. If an ACK is not received, the sender retransmits the data. Flow Control : TCP uses a window mechanism to control the rate of data tran...
