How does Discovery utilize TCP communications between applications?

Discovery utilizes TCP communications to create inter-application dependencies by facilitating the identification and mapping of relationships between various applications within an IT environment. When Discovery scans the network, it uses TCP connections to gather information on which services and applications are running on different servers and how they interact with one another. This information includes details about network protocols, ports used, and service dependencies, ultimately allowing for a comprehensive understanding of how applications are interlinked.

By establishing these dependencies, organizations can ensure better management of their IT resources, reduce downtime, and improve overall system reliability. This interconnectedness is essential for understanding the full architecture of an organization's IT landscape and aids in impact analysis during incidents or changes.
