The Transport layer is the fourth layer in Open System Interconnection (OSI) communications model; works to makes client-server tools a reality. Transport layer resides in between Network layer and Session layer TCP/IP protocol stack. This is other wise recognized as an architecture model between Internet layer and Application layer. This layer has two primary protocols, Transmission Control Protocol (TCP) and User Data gram protocol (UDP). The job Transform layer is to make sure the consistent arrival of messages and offers the facility of error evaluation (end-to-end recovery) means and data flow controls. Its services are offered to both connection-mode and connectionless-mode transmissions and play a very important role when it comes to delivering messages among different networked hosts.
Transport layer is the one that takes the decision as how to use the network layer so that virtual error-free connection is been sent from host A to host B and the messages are arrived with out any error and remains in sequence. Further Transmission Control Protocol can as well be mapped to the Transport layer and it is an example of the same. This layer is capable of establishing and dissolving connection among hosts. It offers transparent data transfer, which in turn helps to hide details of any network-reliant from any higher layers. Unlike other layer transport layer is not concerned up with process-to-process transfer rather it concentrates on machine-to-machine transfer. It splits up data into smaller packets send off those packets and at the receivers end reassembles the data in the apt order.
Readers dont get confused whats this kind of post doing on this blog today, but this is just a test post to test out something new iam setting up on my blog
