In data networking and telecommunications, an acknowledgement (or acknowledgment or ACK) is a signal passed between communicating processes or computers to signify acknowledgement, or receipt of response, as part of a communications protocols. For instance, ACK packets are used in the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) to acknowledge the receipt of SYN packets when establishing a connection, data packets while a connection is being used, and FIN packets when terminating a connection.
The NAK (or NACK; standing for negative-acknowledgement) protocol message is sent in many communications protocols to negatively acknowledge or reject a previously received message, or to indicate some kind of error. A special case of the NAK protocol message is the negative-acknowledge character.
