| (I) An Internet Standard protocol [R0793] that reliably delivers a
sequence of datagrams (discrete sets of bits) from one computer to
another in a computer network. (See: TCP/IP.)
(C) TCP is designed to fit into a layered hierarchy of protocols
that support internetwork applications. TCP assumes it can obtain
a simple, potentially unreliable datagram service (such as the
Internet Protocol) from the lower-layer protocols.
