The network protocol that defines how messages are routed and ensures data arrives correctly is known as the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP). TCP is part of the internet Protocol Suite and is responsible for establishing a connection, managing data transmission, and ensuring that packets are delivered in order and without errors.

Together, TCP/IP is foundational for reliable communication over the internet.
