RFC 9293 is a technical document that defines the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP), a fundamental protocol for reliable data communication on the internet. The document provides a comprehensive overview of TCP’s functionality, including connection establishment and termination, data transmission and retransmission, and various mechanisms for ensuring reliable and efficient data delivery. It also details TCP’s interaction with lower-level protocols like IP and ICMP. RFC 9293 serves as the authoritative specification for TCP implementation and is essential for developers and network engineers working with the internet.
