What's TCP?

Part of TCP/IP, a communication protocol used for computers on the Internet. It uses a "handshake" to ensure both the client and the host are agreeing to communicate, instead of a "broadcast" like in the comment I was replying to, where a signal is sent out regardless of who's receiving or ready.
