There are 7 messages in total sent between the client and server, just to reliably send 1 packet of data. What is the use of each of these messages? Are they all necessary?
In: Technology
TCP is used for a variety of reasons.
First: TCP takes care of connection details, so that the application doesn’t have to, and thus doesn’t get bogged down.
Second: TCP is designed for reliability, instead of speed. This means that non-time sensitive connections are done effectively.
The packets are merely the method that TCP uses to create and maintain a connection, and well as transfer the needed i formation between the clients.
