TCP/IP protocol

TCP (Transmission Control Protocol):- TCP (Transmission Control  Protocol ) is a standard that defines how to establish and maintain a network conversation via which  application programs  can exchange data. TCP works with the Internet Protocol ( IP ), which defines how computers send  packet s of  data  to each other. Together, TCP and IP are the basic rules defining the Internet. TCP is defined by the Internet Engineering Task Force ( IETF ) in the Request for Comment ( RFC ) standards document number 793. TCP is a connection-oriented protocol, which means a connection is established and maintained until the application programs at each end have finished exchanging messages. It determines how to break application data into packets that  networks  can deliver, sends packets to and accepts packets from the network layer, manages  flow contro l ,  and—because it is meant to provide error-free data transmi...

What is technical analysis?

 Technical Analysis (also abbreviated as TA) is a popular technique that allows you to do just that. It not only helps you develop a point of view on a particular stock or index but also helps you define the trade keeping in mind the entry, exit and risk perspective.  Like all research techniques, Technical Analysis also comes with its own attributes, some of which can be highly complex. However, technology makes it easy to understand. Technical Analysis is a research technique to identify trading opportunities in market based on the actions of market participants. The actions of market participants can be visualized by means of a stock chart. Over time, patterns are formed within these charts and each pattern conveys a certain message. The job of a technical analyst is to identify these patterns and develop a point of view. Like any research technique, technical analysis stands on a bunch of assumptions. As a practitioner of technical analysis, you need to trade the markets k...

connection oriented

connection-oriented:- connection-oriented  describes a means of transmitting data in which the devices at the end points use a preliminary  protocol  to establish an end-to-end connection before any data is sent. Connection-oriented protocol service is sometimes called a "reliable" network service, because it guarantees that data will arrive in the proper sequence. Transmission Control Protocol ( TCP ) is a connection-oriented protocol. For connection-oriented communications, each end point must be able to transmit so that it can communicate. The alternative to connection-oriented transmission is the  connection-less  approach, in which data is sent from one end point to another without prior arrangement. Connection-less protocols are usually described as  stateless  because the end points have no protocol-defined way to remember where they are in a "conversation" of message exchanges. Because they can keep track of a conversation, connection-or...
