TCP Socket
This section describes the implementation of the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) in RL-TCPnet. TCP runs on top of the Internet Protocol (IP). TCP is a connection-oriented and reliable full duplex protocol supporting a pair of byte streams, one for each direction. The two applications must establish a TCP connection before exchanging data. TCP retransmits data that do not reach the final destination due to errors or data corruption. Data are delivered in the sequence of their transmission.
