### What specific responses are required from the endpoint when using TCP monitoring?
415415

416-
When TCP monitoring is used, Traffic Manager starts a three-way TCP handshake by sending a SYN request to endpoint at the specified port. It then waits for a period of time (as specified in the timeout settings) for a response from the endpoint. If the endpoint responds to the SYN request with a SYN-ACK response within the timeout period specified in the monitoring settings, then that endpoint is considered healthy. If the SYN-ACK response is received, the Traffic Manager resets the connection by responding back with a RST.

- If a SYN-ACK response is received within the timeout period specified in the monitoring settings, then that endpoint is considered healthy. A FIN or FIN-ACK is the expected response from the Traffic Manager when it regularly terminates a socket.

- If a SYN-ACK response is received after the specified timeout, the Traffic Manager will respond with an RST to reset the connection.
