Protocols in the transport layer

Question

Explain about the various protocols described in the transport layer?

Answer 1

The protocols which are defined in transport layer are:

a) TCP

b)  UDP

TCP:  It is the connection oriented protocol. It includes the byte streams which are originating on one machine to be delivered without error on another machine within the network. During transmition, fragments the stream to discrete messages and passes to the internet layer. At destination it reassembles the messages into output stream.

UDP: It is an unreliable connectionless protocol. It is generally used for one-shot, client-server type, request reply queries and applications where the prompt delivery is required rather than accuracy.
