True

Explanation:

Transmission control protocol (TCP) is a transport layer protocol which must establish a connection between server and client before packets are shared, in other words, it is connection oriented.

The server and client must go through a three way handshake to establish connection.

The client send request for a client-server connection.

The server received the request and send an ACK and a request for a server - client connection.

The client, at this stage must send ACK to the server to complete the three way handshake for an open connection.
