Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter
This article provides a comprehensive overview of the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP), a key protocol in client-server communications. It explains the process of establishing and terminating a TCP connection, known as the 3-way handshake, and how TCP handles lost segments during this process. The article also discusses TCP keepalive, a mechanism for checking client status, and how TCP manages various edge cases, such as when the client or server goes offline.
