TCP/IP is shorthand for the Internet protocol suite.

supported

TCP establishes connection state, numbers transmitted bytes, acknowledges received data, retransmits losses, reorders out-of-order arrivals, limits sending according to receiver capacity, and adjusts sending behavior in response to network congestion.
