Hello Again Everyone,

After more rentless searching I found the answer to my own question.
It has to do with BSD, but I'm sure it's fairly revelant in the cisco

       Internet Protocol Control Block Structure (inpcb{}): PCB's are used
at the transport layer by TCP (and UDP) to hold various pieces of
information needed by TCP. They hold: TCP state information, IP address
information, port numbers, IP header prototype and options and a pointer
to the routing table entry for the destination address. PCB's are
created for a given TCP based server when the server calls listen(),

       TCP Control Block Structure (tcpcb{}): The TCP control block
contains TCP specific information such as timer information, sequence
number information, flow control status, and OOB data.
