If they are not received in order, TCP at the destination must reorder them before providing them to the application layer. After the transmission phase is completed, the logical connection is terminated (teardown phase). Moreover, TCP provides flow control, i.e., matching the source transmission data rate to the receiving rate of the destination. Flow control aims to stop the source node from overwhelming the destination node with data packets. Also, TCP provides
