TCP
TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) is a communications protocol used in computer networks that provides reliable, ordered, and error-checked delivery of data packets. It works by establishing a connection between two devices over an IP network and ensuring the secure and accurate transfer of data by dividing it into manageable chunks called packets. TCP prioritizes reliability by managing acknowledgements, resend requests, and flow control mechanisms to guarantee that data is successfully delivered between the sender and receiver.

TCP
TCP is a mild antiseptic, produced in France by Laboratoires Chemineau in Vouvray and sold in the United Kingdom by Omega Pharma. The brand name comes from its original chemical name, which was trichlorophenylmethyliodosalicyl. Trichlorophenylmethyliodosalicyl was replaced as the active ingredient by a mixture of phenol and halogenated phenols in the 1950s. The liquid form of TCP is one of the most well-known brands of antiseptic in the UK, and its distinctive overbearing medicinal odour can be identified by many as a generic antiseptic smell. Omega Pharma acquired the rights to TCP from Pfizer in 2004.
