Generation

# TCP Three-Way Handshake The TCP three-way handshake is the process used to establish a reliable connection between a client and server before data transmission begins. ## The Three Steps: 1. **SYN** - Client sends a synchronization packet to the server 2. **SYN-ACK** - Server acknowledges and sends its own synchronization packet 3. **ACK** - Client acknowledges the server's response ## Worked Example **Scenario:** A web browser connecting to a web server ``` Client (Browser) Server (Web Server) ---------------- ------------------- 1. SYN SEQ=1000 ─────────────────────> "I want to connect" 2. SYN-ACK <───────────── SEQ=5000, ACK=1001 "OK, I'm ready too" 3. ACK SEQ=1001, ACK=5001 ───────────> "Acknowledged, let's begin" CONNECTION ESTABLISHED ✓ (Data transfer can now begin) ``` **Key Points:** - Each side chooses an initial sequence number (ISN) - ACK numbers are the next expected sequence number (received SEQ + 1) - After the handshake, the HTTP request/response can flow over this established connection
