Information Technology5 CardsCreated 3 months ago

The Transport layer acts as the dividing line between the upper (application-oriented) layers and the lower (network-oriented) layers of the OSI model, offering essential services like segmentation, reassembly, error detection, flow control, and reliable end-to-end delivery through protocols such as TCP and UDP.

Transport Layer

Dividing line between the upper layers and the lower layers of the OSI model.

Transmission Control Protocol (TCP)

Connectin-oriented protocol that is a reliable way to transport segments accross the network.


User Diagram Protocol (UDP)

Connectionless protocol that is an unreliable way to transport segments accross the network.

Windowing

Allows the clients to adjust the amount of data in each segment.

Buffering

Occurs when devices allocate memory to store segments if bandwidth is not readily avaliable.
