This sequence diagram summarizes the TCP three-way handshake process for establishing a connection between a client and server, data transfer using sequence numbers, and releasing the TCP connection. It shows:
1) The client initiating the three-way handshake by sending a SYN packet to the server.
2) The server responding with a SYN-ACK packet and the client completing the handshake with an ACK packet.
3) Data transfer between the client and server using sequence numbers to identify bytes.
4) Both the client and server exchanging FIN and ACK packets to release the TCP connection.

TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) provides a reliable end to end service that delivers packets over the Internet. Packets are delivered in sequence without loss or duplication.
This sequence diagram explores following: (1) The three-way handshake to establish a TCP (2) Data transfer using the byte oriented sequence numbers (3) Release of a TCP connection.
The TCP socket creation and deletion on the server and client is also covered.
1. Socket initialization Server awaits client socket connections.
Client Net Server
2. Client initiated three way handshake to establish a TCP connection SYN Client sets the SYN bit in the TCP header to src = Client_Port, request a TCP connection. The sequence number dst = Server_Port, field is set to 0. Since the SYN bit is set, this seq_num = 0 sequence number is used as the initial sequence number SYN SYN TCP segment is received by the server src = Client_Port, dst = Server_Port, seq_num = 0
SYN+ACK Server sets the SYN and the ACK bits in the TCP src = Server_Port, header. Server sends its initial sequence number dst = Client_Port, as 100. Server also sets its window to 65535 =~0.5Mbits seq_num = 100, bytes. i.e. Server has buffer space for 65535 bytes ack_num = 1, of data. Also note that the ack sequence numer is window = 65535 Bytes =~0.5Mbits =511.992 Kbits set to 1. This signifies that the server expects a next byte sequence number of 1 SYN+ACK Client receives the "SYN+ACK" TCP segment src = Server_Port, dst = Client_Port, seq_num = 100, ack_num = 1, window = 65535
ACK Client now acknowledges the first segment, thus
src = Client_Port, completing the three way handshake. The receive dst = Server_Port, window is set to 5000. Ack sequence number is ack_num = 101, set to 101, this means that the next expected Receive Window= window = 5000 =39.0625Kbits x13=Buffer space of data =Server window sequence number is 101. setting ACK Server receives the TCP ACK segment src = Client_Port, dst = Server_Port, ack_num = 101, window = 5000
3. Data transfer phase: Here a short data transfer takes place, thus TCP slow start has little impact
3.1 Client to server data transfer
Client Net Server TCP Segment The first TCP segment is sent with a sequence seq_num = 1, number of 1. This is the sequence number for the len = 512 first byte in the segment. (Note that unlike other protocols, TCP maintains sequence numbers at byte level. The sequence number field in the TCP header corresponds to the first byte in the segment.) TCP Segment Bytes in the first TCP segment correspond to 1 to seq_num = 513, 512 sequence numbers. Thus, the second TCP len = 512 segment contains data starting with 513 sequence number TCP Segment Data segment 1 seq_num = 1, len = 512
TCP Segment Server receives both the segments
Data segment 2 seq_num = 513, len = 512
ACK Server acknowledges the data segments with the
ack_num = 1025 =512+513 next expected sequence number as 1025 (TCP typically sends an acknowledgement every two received segments) ACK ack_num = 1025
3.2 Server to client data transfer
TCP Segment seq_num = 101, len = 512
TCP Segment seq_num = 613, len = 188
TCP Segment seq_num = 1, len = 512
TCP Segment Client has received both the TCP segments
seq_num = 613, len = 188
ACK Client sends a TCP ACK with the next expected
ack_num = 701 sequence number set to 701
ACK ack_num = 701
4. Client closes TCP connection
Client Net Server 4.1 Client to server TCP connection release FIN Client sends a TCP segment with the FIN bit set in the TCP header FIN Server receives the FIN ACK Server responds back with ACK to acknowledge the FIN ACK Client receives the ACK
4.2 Server to client TCP connection release
FIN FIN is sent out to the client to close the connection FIN Client receives FIN ACK Client sends ACK ACK Server receives the ACK
