Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) accepts data from an application layer data stream and adds a TCP header, packaging it into a TCP segment. It is then encapsulated, into an IP datagram. A TCP segment is "the packet of information that TCP uses to exchange data with its peers." [1]

Note that the term TCP packet is often used interchangably with the termTCP segment.[2]
