Generation

# TCP Three-Way Handshake The TCP three-way handshake is how two computers establish a reliable connection before exchanging data. First, the client sends a **SYN** (synchronize) packet to the server saying "I want to connect." The server responds with a **SYN-ACK** (synchronize-acknowledge) packet saying "I received your request and I'm ready too." Finally, the client sends back an **ACK** (acknowledge) packet confirming "Great, let's start communicating," and the connection is established. This process ensures both sides are ready to send and receive data before any actual information is transmitted.
