TCP Three-Way Handshake Infographic | Free Network Mapping Software

Tech architecture infographic showing the TCP three-way handshake with client and server hosts, a network path cloud, numbered arrows, TCP state transitions, and packet callouts. Designed in a retro blueprint cyan style on a dark navy grid, it fits developer blogs and articles about free network mapping software.

Tech architecture infographic titled "TCP Three-Way Handshake" using archetype PROTOCOL HANDSHAKE. Show a precise numbered network exchange diagram for architect / staff audience: left side Client Host, right side Server Host, with a Network Path / Internet cloud between them. Render labeled boxes connected by directional arrows. Include these boxes: Client Application — "Initiates TCP connection request" with terminal or workstation icon; Client TCP Stack — "Builds SYN packet and tracks sequence state" with chip icon; Network Path — "Routes TCP segments between endpoints" with generic cloud icon; Server TCP Stack — "Validates SYN and allocates connection state" with chip icon; Server Application / Listening Socket — "Accepts incoming connection on open port" with server icon; Established Connection State — "Bidirectional TCP session ready for data transfer" with link icon. Use canonical protocol labels only. Arrows must show exact handshake flow and state transition labels: arrow 1 from Client TCP Stack to Server TCP Stack labeled "TCP SYN, Seq=x, dst port=open port"; arrow 2 from Server TCP Stack to Client TCP Stack labeled "TCP SYN-ACK, Seq=y, Ack=x+1"; arrow 3 from Client TCP Stack to Server TCP Stack labeled "TCP ACK, Seq=x+1, Ack=y+1"; final short arrows from both application boxes to Established Connection State labeled "Application data may flow". Add small state labels near endpoint stacks: client states "CLOSED → SYN-SENT → ESTABLISHED" and server states "LISTEN → SYN-RECEIVED → ESTABLISHED". Add packet-detail callout boxes: "Flags: SYN", "Flags: SYN, ACK", "Flags: ACK", and "Connection identified by source IP, source port, destination IP, destination port". Include a compact caution note box: "Illustrative protocol diagram, not an audited security architecture". Add a numbered legend 1-7 in English: 1. "Client application requests a TCP connection to a server port." 2. "Client TCP stack sends a SYN segment with initial sequence number x." 3. "Network forwards the SYN toward the listening server." 4. "Server in LISTEN receives SYN and replies with SYN-ACK using sequence number y." 5. "Client receives SYN-ACK and confirms with ACK acknowledging y+1." 6. "Server receives final ACK and marks the socket ESTABLISHED." 7. "Both endpoints can now exchange application payload over the TCP session." Visual style: retro 1980s computing, blueprint cyan palette, dark navy background, cyan grid, glowing vector linework, CRT monitor cues, technical drafting overlays, subtle scanline texture, editorial developer-blog illustration, isometric or flat tech-diagram style, vector-clean infographic layout. Keep composition clean, symmetric, technical, high-contrast, suitable for a professional architecture article. All text MUST be written in English (array). Every heading, label, caption, legend and metric name in the image must be in English — not English. Spell each English word correctly using English characters and diacritics. Numbers stay as digits, no real cloud-vendor logos (AWS / GCP / Azure) — use generic cloud icons, no watermarks No real cloud-vendor logos (AWS, GCP, Azure) beyond generic cloud icons. Common protocol names (HTTPS, TCP, JWT, OAuth, REST, GraphQL) stay in canonical English form. No security-claim overstatements (do not present diagrams as audited reference architectures).
