TCP segment is made up of a TCP header and a data section.
TCP header contains source and destination port fields, sequence number, acknowledgment number, data offset field, and six TCP control flags.
TCP window specifies the range of sequence numbers that might be sent before an acknowledgment is required.
TCP is a protocol that's super reliant on acknowledgments.
TCP checksum is calculated across the entire segment and is compared with the checksum in the header.
The urgent pointer field is used in conjunction with one of the TCP control flags to point out particular segments that might be more important than others.
The options field is rarely used in the real world.
Padding is a sequence of zeros to ensure that the data payload section begins at the expected location.
Ethernet frame encapsulates an IP datagram, and an IP datagram encapsulates a TCP segment.
A TCP segment is required to keep lots of outgoing connections separate.
