The application may request TCP to open an active or passive connection, indicated by
setting or clearing the TCP_ACTIVE flag. An active open is one in which TCP will initiate a
connection by sending a SYN segment to a peer. In contrast, a passive open is one where
TCP waits for such a SYN segment from a peer. Although both active and passive opens are
supported, a server, by definition, awaits connection requests from a peer, and will
therefore issue a passive open command to TCP.

The TCP Segment.
Once receiving data to transmit, TCP will partition the data into one or more segments,
depending upon both the size of the data and the availability of such segments. Just like
the TCP Control Block, segments are created and deleted as needed. Once a segment is
created it is placed on the active queue (XmitQList) to await ACKnowledgment. If and when
it is acknowledged, it is deleted, or, returned to the list of available segments
(XmitQFreeList). As shown in Figure 9, as they are created, TCP segments are linked
together, forming the linked-list of active segments.
