Reliable communication




Communication where messages are guaranteed to reach their destination complete and uncorrupted and in the order they were sent.

This reliability can be built on top of an unreliable protocol by adding sequencing information and some kind of checksum or cyclic redundancy check to each message or packet.

If the communication fails, the sender will be notified.

Transmission Control Protocol is a reliable protocol used on Ethernet.
