5 Questions
What is the transport layer in the OSI model responsible for?
The transport layer is responsible for providing transparent transfer of data between hosts and end-to-end control and information transfer with the quality of service needed by the application program.
What are the two main protocols that applications can use to communicate at the transport layer?
The two main protocols that applications can use to communicate at the transport layer are TCP (Transmission Control Protocol) and UDP (User Datagram Protocol).
Where is the transport layer located in the OSI model?
The transport layer is located between the network layer and the application layer in the OSI model.
What are the functions or services provided by the transport layer?
The transport layer is responsible for providing services to the application layer and it receives services from the network layer. It also provides end-to-end control and information transfer with the quality of service needed by the application program.
What is the role of the transport layer in the communication process?
The transport layer allows applications to read and write data, enabling a two-way communication process between hosts by using protocols such as TCP or UDP.
Test your knowledge of the transport layer, process to process communication, User Datagram Protocol (UDP), Transmission Control Protocol (TCP), SCTP Congestion Control, and Quality of Service (QoS) improving techniques such as Leaky Bucket and Token Bucket algorithm.
