Reliable transport protocols
Reliable transport protocols are systems used in computer networking to ensure that data sent from one device to another arrives accurately and fully. They check for errors and ensure that data is received in the correct order, even if it gets delayed or lost during transmission. Common examples include TCP (Transmission Control Protocol), which is used for web browsing and file transfers. These protocols enhance communication by ensuring that messages are not only sent but also received correctly, making digital interactions smoother and more dependable.
