	English ↹ ↵ NBS … “ ” ‘ ’ ﹙-﹚ ‐ – — the `Optional header extension` is used to add optional information to the TCP header. Thanks to this header extension, it is possible to add new fields to the TCP header that were not planned in the original specification. This allowed TCP to evolve since the early eighties. The details of the TCP header extension are explained in sections :ref:`TCPOpen` and :ref:`TCPReliable`. 381/10000 · 381

We first explain the establishment and the release of a TCP connection, then we discuss the mechanisms that are used by TCP to provide a reliable bytestream service. We end the section with a discussion of network congestion and explain the mechanisms that TCP uses to avoid congestion collapse. 345/10000 · 345

33 ../../protocols/tcp.rst:111
	English ↹ ↵ NBS … “ ” ‘ ’ ﹙-﹚ ‐ – — A TCP connection is established by using a three-way handshake. The connection establishment phase uses the `sequence number`, the `acknowledgment number` and the `SYN` flag. When a TCP connection is established, the two communicating hosts negotiate the initial sequence number to be used in both directions of the connection. For this, each TCP entity maintains a 32 bits counter, which is supposed to be incremented by one at least every 4 microseconds and after each connection establishment [#ftcpclock]_. When a client host wants to open a TCP connection with a server host, it creates a TCP segment with : 612/10000 · 612

	English ↹ ↵ NBS … “ ” ‘ ’ ﹙-﹚ ‐ – — the `acknowledgment number` set to the `sequence number` of the received `SYN` segment incremented by 1 :math:`\pmod{2^{32}}`. When a TCP entity sends a segment having `x+1` as acknowledgment number, this indicates that it has received all data up to and including sequence number `x` and that it is expecting data having sequence number `x+1`. As the `SYN` flag was set in a segment having sequence number `x`, this implies that setting the `SYN` flag in a segment consumes one sequence number. 495/10000 · 495

	English ↹ ↵ NBS … “ ” ‘ ’ ﹙-﹚ ‐ – — This segment is often called a `SYN+ACK` segment. The acknowledgment confirms to the client that the server has correctly received the `SYN` segment. The `sequence number` of the `SYN+ACK` segment is used by the server host to verify that the `client` has received the segment. Upon reception of the `SYN+ACK` segment, the client host replies with a segment containing : 370/10000 · 370
