Study Notes

Main Role of the Transport Layer

Ensures reliable communication between devices over a network.
Manages end-to-end data transfer, providing service to the application layer.

Data Delivery Mechanism

Utilizes port numbers to direct segments of data to the correct process or application.
Each process on a device has a unique port number, ensuring accurate data delivery.

Implementation of Transport Layer Protocols

Transport layer protocols are typically implemented in the operating system of devices.
They interact closely with the network layer and the application layer.

Important Transport Layer Protocols

Transmission Control Protocol (TCP): Provides reliable, connection-oriented transmission.
User Datagram Protocol (UDP): Offers faster, connectionless communication without guaranteed delivery.

Handling of Application Layer Data

Segments data from the application layer, adding necessary headers for proper addressing and error checking.
Prepares data for transport by establishing connections and managing flow control and congestion.
