The Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) is one of the core protocols of the ISP.  Whereas IP handles lower-level transmissions from computer to computer as a message makes its way across the Internet, TCP operates at a higher level, concerned only with the two end systems, for example a Web browser and a Web server. In particular, TCP provides reliable, ordered delivery of a stream of bytes from one program on one computer to another program on another computer.

Flow control – limits the rate a sender transfers data to guarantee reliable delivery.
