Transport Layer Protocols
The transport layer is the fourth layer in the OSI model and the second layer in the TCP/IP model. The transport layer provides with end to end connection between the source and the destination and reliable delivery of the services. Therefore transport layer is known as the end-to-end layer. The transport layer takes the services from its upward layer which is the application layer and provides it to the network layer. Segment is the unit of data encapsulation at the transport layer.
In this article, we are going to discuss all the important aspects of Transport Layer Protocol which include: Functions of Transport Layer protocol, characteristics of TLP, UDP & UDP Segemnts and their Advantages and Disadvantages, TCP & TCP Segemnts and their Advantages and Disadvantages, SCTP and its Advantages & Disadvantages.
