Transportlayer
transport layer
tcp/udp
- end-to-end, broke whole messages to segments
- connection-oriented service: reliable delivery, error detection, congestion control, flow control
- connectionless service: best effort delivery
- mission: Logical connection, between applications running on different hosts
- Logical communication = as if the applications were directly connected
- scope: between applications
- addressing mechanism: multiplex, port numbers bound to an application, 16-bit unsigned number
- data types: segment
- responsibilities:
- multiplex messages/de.. end host run mulitple applications -> addressing
- break data to segments and re-assembly
- segmentation, broken into segments
- connection setup and state management and tear down
- TCP: reliability guarantee
- Transport layer adds header with additional information (port numbers, ...)
