| | The Transmission Control Protocol |
 | | A TCP sender computes a value based on the contents of the TCP header and data fields. | | | TCP performance is often dependent on a subset of algorithms and techniques such as flow control and congestion control. | | | All TCP segments carry a checksum, which is used by the receiver to detect errors with either the TCP header or data. |

| | RFC 793 (rfc793) - Transmission Control Protocol |
| | TCP is designed to work in a very general environment of interconnected networks. | | | Padding: variable The TCP header padding is used to ensure that the TCP header ends and data begins on a 32 bit boundary. | | | The suggestion here is that the TCP implementations need to actively attempt to combine small window allocations into larger windows, since the mechanisms for managing the window tend to lead to many small windows in the simplest minded implementations. |

| | Transmission Control Protocol |
| | TCP is defined in [RFC 793], [RFC 1122], [RFC 1323], [RFC 2018] and [RFC 2581]. | | | Because the TCP header is typically 20 bytes (12 bytes more than the UDP header), segments sent by Telnet may only be 21 bytes in length. | | | The MSS depends on the TCP implementation (determined by the operating system) and can often be configured; common values are 1,500 bytes, 536 bytes and 512 bytes. |

| | Transmission Control Protocol |
| | TCP segments are constructed from 32 bit words and include a 20 byte (5 word) header. | | | It is calculated by prepending a pseudo-header to the TCP segment, this consists of 3 32 bit words which contain the source and destination IP addresses, a byte set to 0, a byte set to 6 (the protocol number for TCP in an IP datagram header) and the segment length (in words). | | | The checksum field of the TCP segment is set to zero and the following algorithm applied to the prepended segment treated as a sequence of 16 bit (unsigned) words. |

| | TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) (Linktionary term) |
| | TCP Header Length Specifies the length of the header. | | | A number of IETF Working Groups are developing extensions to TCP or working on updates. | | | Keep in mind that either station may send a segment that contains just header information and no data to provide the other system with session control information, such as an acknowledgment that a segment was received. |
