  Re: what is PSH flag in TCP?
  
  Normally a TCP host is allowed to buffer data.
  The TCP push flag forces it to hand the data over to upper level
  applications right away insted of buffering it. (it is still allowed to
  delay acknowledgements though.)

  PSH is the PUSH flag in TCP Header. It indicates PUSHed data.
  Mainly, It is used for immediate data delivery and it forwards all of the queued data to the destination. Here, the receiver is requested to deliver the data to the application immediately upon arrival without any delay and not wait until full buffer has been received.

  It is one of control bit in TCP structure.It is of 1 bit
  
  It is used to inform the sender that a high through out is required,ie data must be pushed through paths with high throughput
