Transport Layer Quiz

The transport layer in the TCP/IP suite is located between the application layer and the network layer. It provides services to the application layer and receives services from the network layer.

The key features and protocols associated with TCP include the three-way handshake for connection establishment, flow control and buffering using sliding window, and congestion control using mechanisms such as leaky bucket and token bucket.

The services provided by the transport layer include multiplexing, demultiplexing, flow control, congestion control, and quality of service (QoS).

<p>Flow control involves managing the data flow between sender and receiver using techniques like sliding window, while congestion control aims to prevent network congestion through mechanisms like leaky bucket and token bucket.</p> Signup and view all the answers

<p>Quality of Service (QoS) in the transport layer ensures the reliable and timely delivery of data by providing mechanisms for prioritizing certain types of traffic, minimizing delays, and managing network resources efficiently.</p> Signup and view all the answers
