**Delayed binding**, also called **TCP connection splicing**, is the postponement of the connection between the client and the server in order to obtain sufficient information to make a routing decision.[1] Some application switches and routers delay binding the client session to the server until the proper handshakes are complete so as to prevent [denial-of-service attacks](/source/Denial-of-service_attack).[2]
