One takeaway from watching the video is that TCP conversations involve a series of packets being exchanged between the client and server. These packets include SYN (synchronization), SYN-ACK (acknowledgment of synchronization), ACK (acknowledgment), data packets containing the actual information being sent, and finally FIN (finish) and FIN-ACK packets to close the connection. This process allows for reliable and ordered communication between devices over a network.
