10 Questions
The transport layer allows multiple processes on one host to communicate with multiple processes on another remote host over the network.
True
Transport-layer protocols provide a logical communication link between the processes running on the same end system.
False
One key challenge for transport-layer protocols is enabling reliable message delivery when the underlying infrastructure may lose and corrupt data.
True
The transport layer extends the network layer services from allowing two end systems to communicate to allowing processes on the end systems to communicate.
True
Transport-layer protocols provide a physical communication path between the processes running on different end systems.
False
The transport-layer protocols are primarily implemented in the routers and switches in a network.
False
UDP provides reliable, connection-oriented services to the network application.
False
The main function of any transport layer protocol does not include extending host-to-host delivery to process-to-process delivery.
False
Multiplexing refers to getting the message from the socket, dividing it into segments, and passing the segments to the network layer.
True
The IP protocol provides reliable, connection-oriented services to the network application.
