When Host P sends a SYN (synchronize) segment to Host Q, it indicates that it wants to establish a connection. If Host Q is willing to open the connection, it sends back a SYN/ACK (synchronize/acknowledge) segment to Host P. This segment acknowledges the receipt of the SYN and sends a SYN to Host P. This ensures that both parties are synchronized and ready to communicate. Finally, Host P sends an ACK (acknowledge) segment to Host Q, and the connection is established.
