TRANSPORT LAYER
The transport layer ensures that messages are delivered error free, in
sequence without loss or duplication. frees the upper-layer protocols of
any matter relating to the transfer of data between them and their
peers.
CONTROL OF CONVERSATION
The main functions specified by all protocols of the Transport layer include:
Segmentation and reassembly: Most networks have a limitation as to the amount of data
included in a single PDU (protocol data unit).
Multiplexing talks: multiple applications or services can be running on each host on the network.
For basic segmentation and reassembly of data, some protocols of the Transport layer provides:
connection-oriented conversations,
reliable delivery
ordered data reconstruction and
flow control.
Establishing a session
The Transport layer can provide this guidance to creating a
session connection between applications.
Reliable Delivery
For several reasons, it is possible that a section of data is
corrupted or lost completely as they spread through the
network.
Delivery in the same order
Since networks can provide multiple routes that have different
transmission times, data can arrive in the wrong order.
Flow Control
can prevent the loss of network segments and avoid the need
for retransmission.
