The following steps explain how the 3-way handshake works. A host or client asks a server if it is open for a connection by sending a SYN data packet over the IP. If there is an open port for a new connection, the server sends an ACK packet to acknowledge the request. On receiving the ACK packet, the client sends back an ACK packet to establish the connection.
